Duology: 10 Duets for Young Percussionists

Duology is a collection of duets was designed to give young percussionists the opportunity to grow as musicians by collaborating with friends. The book is divided into four sections - drum+drum, keyboard+keyboard, drum+keyboard, and multiple+multiple - with two to three duets in each.

"This collection is a real music (and educational) treat, and one not to be overlooked in our ocean of percussion literature. The music is creative and thought-provoking, even at an entry level—surely a challenging task for any composer."
- Joshua D. Smith (UT-Martin), Percussive Notes, March 2017
