Description

Format: Book and CD

Notes: Guinea Pig Gig offers ten performance pieces for children to play together as duets. It is for those who have started to learn and continues their progression to more demanding playing, using words to structure the rhythm. The lower part is for children who are ready to play an accompaniment from music without the words.  So children at different levels can play together in the easier and more difficult parts in the duets and enjoy the experience of ensemble playing

  • Carefully graded pieces that allow children to play together and enjoy ensemble playing
  • Fingering diagrams that show the correct orientation for playing
  • CD with lively modern accompaniments with strong rhythms
  • Choice of accompaniments to play with and without the tune
