  • Limited range

I am a band director and clarinet teacher in southeastern Louisiana, USA. A student of mine came across some of your beginner jazz clarinet duets and was trying to learn them off of the YouTube videos, showed me the video and I thought they were really cool. A lot of times, beginner duets are really lame and not very musical, and in my experience that goes doubly true for jazz duets. I went to your site and immediately bought all the clarinet duets. I got the advanced ones for myself, the intermediate for my few high school students, and the beginners for the junior high kids I teach during the day. Thank you so much for writing/sharing your music. After hearing so many really lame beginner level duets yours really are refreshing, they truly are good music that is fun to play.

    Nice Pieces for a Beginner

    After we read a story about a blues player, I bought these duets to play with my 11 year-old grandson who has been playing for about a 18 months. We both really like the arrangements.

    Sounds good

    I found the JAZZ DUETS site by chance and was surprised at the offer. So I ordered a couple of books. One for clarinet and meanwhile four for saxophone. I tried a few pieces with a few students and we all found that they all sound really good, regardless of the level!

    I am using it

    Very simple songs for 2 clarinets. Good to train the ensamble playing. You should have a good recording mixer available. A speed indication for the beginners would be helpful. Ulli

    Excellent! I would be gratful for youtube version for all songs. My son has begun this september with clarinet and I would like to teach him Mephis in the simple key from the book and we don´t have a backtrack. I have baught also intermediate duets and it includes backtracks and playalongs. We really need this, because the rythm is the point of it all!!! Thx and have a nice time Aja

    Loads of Fun

    You can’t have more fun for under $10 with all your clothes on! I started playing clarinet in 1966, 54 years ago and these beginner duets are fun to play, strait forward but interesting. I play both parts with myself (social distancing) into my DAW and jam along. I hope to live long enough to try the intermediate duets, but that’s not likely. Thanks Nick for making these available.

    Good fun

    I thoroughly enjoyed playing through these duets, as a beginner clarinet player. They were accessible enough that I didn't have to struggle immensely to play them, but just challenging enough to sustain my interest. I would recommend this collection of pieces to anyone starting out on the instrument.

    Easy Clarinet Duets - Blues

    Very easy to order and download, and all prints off really well. Some lovely"simple" tunes but there are some hidden challenges that make this a decent learning exercise, too - plenty of accidentals, often multiple in one bar, that keeps one on one's toes when reading or sight-reading. Some good work outs on the low notes, too, F / F# and G# and E all in short order on several tunes. Makes for a good practice routine. The only confusing bit (for me) is where there are a few enharmonic accidentals in the same piece and even once (at least) the same bar e.g. a Bb and an A# I don't know if it's intentional, but it certainly keeps one's brain sharp. I haven't recorded the duets yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so. Definitely get the next set once I've mastered this.

    Fun Jazzy Beginner Duets

    The purchase experience went smoothly and the .pdf music booklet is high quality. These pieces are accessible for early players, yet give you just enough challenge with optional register changes and rhythms to for a player ready for a bit more. Nice resource!
