I am going to be a freshman next year at Eastman as a Music Ed major. I have had experiences at college visits and summer camps where I read a duet or two with another tuba player as a way of making friends.
I am looking for a duet book that I could use to help me get to know the other tuba players in the studio and have a good time. They should be fairly advanced, but not so hard that we can't have fun just sight-reading them.
Anyone have suggestions of duets that would be good for this?

Re: I've always been fond of.....
Is that a special arrangement, or are you just suggesting to read them off the originals? If it is an arrangement, do you have the info?montre8 wrote:Bach Two-Part Inventions. For tuba or bass trombone. Fun, not too difficult, educational........

"Twenty Counterpoint" by Tom Ervin is an absolute gem if Robert King or the like have it in stock. The book consists of twenty Rochut duets (the numbers, obviously, correspond with the trombone Rochut and not our Bordogni). Some are a lot of fun with a little subtle jazz thrown in (understandable as Ervin is a heck of a jazz bone player).Mark wrote: There are two or three different books out there that turn the first volume of Rochut into duets. They are for trombone of course.
Like I said, the book is listed on Hickeys, Robert King, etc.
