It's ideal for early intermediate players looking for a great first etude book. The accompaniments make technical study fun and collaborative, providing an enjoyable introduction to ensemble playing. Playing in a duet helps students improve intonation and listening skills while the teacher coaches them on ensemble playing. The accompaniments also allow the teacher to guide the student nonverbally on phrasing, dynamics, and tempo through their playing.
