Fiddle Time Duets by Kathy Blackwell
for violin duet Fiddle Time Duets is an exciting and attractive collection for violinists of all ages by the award-winning educational composers Kathy and David Blackwell. The duets progress from pieces suitable for established beginners through to repertoire ideal for students at approximately Grade 4 and beyond.
Overall this seems to me to be an excellent addition to the early duet repertoire, and one that more than justifies its price point* Steve Bingham, JESTA, Winter 2025 *
