tuba duets

[Casey Tucker]

ok so i don't really know if this has been discussed but i'm in need of tuba duets. i've played the ones out of the arban book and i've even got some trombone duets that are great to read down. but at the moment im in need of something a little different (by different i mean NOT arban duets). my lesson teacher and i play out of the roger jones 21 distinctive duets book that he has. im looking for a copy and can't find it. i was wondering if anybody knew where to find it or if they're willing to let go of their copy (of course i'll pay you for it). and what would be some duet books you would suggest looking into? thanks in advance.

We have a set of 10 Nelhybel DUets that might be fun to take a look at. Go her:

http://www.cimarronmusic.com/

and search: Nelhybel or catalog number 1064. There is a .pdf sample page. When I received these in late 2005, they were in manucript and are now in a nicely formatted printed set!

The Walter Sear, Volume One of Advanced Duets are challenging but approachable. The Sear Volume Two of Advanced Duets are quite challenging but worth it.

I also use French horn duets such as the Voxman books 1 & 2, When playing them, simply add three flats to the treble clef key signature and, in your mind's eye, change the treble clef sign to a bass clef.

The Roger Jones duets are excellent. Among the best I have ever seen and played. Unfortunately, they are out of print. Dr. Jones is a tuba player himself. He now lives in Louisiana. He told me about a year ago that he only has a single copy of them, himself. He thought they might eventually be reissued by TUBA Press. A long time ago I had an autographed copy of them, lent them to a student, and have never seen them since. I would buy them if they were available, as they are quite unique.

There are certainly other good duets available. The two Sear books are quite good. Dan Augustine's book of duets and trios is pretty good. And others....
