Duet/Duo Supplementary Piano Sheet Music

Teachers return consistently to Melody Bober's Grand Duets series across all her books, with Grand Duets for Christmas, Book 4 and Grand Duets for Piano, Book 1 among the most adopted titles. Martha Mier's Jazz, Rags & Blues for Two, Book 1 remains a favorite for students ready to explore syncopated styles at the early intermediate level. Carol Matz's Famous & Fun Duets, Book 1 opens the door to duet playing for early elementary students, while Robert D. Vandall's Christmas Duet Fantasies gives teachers seasonal material that ranges across difficulty levels.

Kevin Olson's The Elgin Express arrived as a new four-hands duet in October 2025. Mary Leaf contributed Drachenlied and Scandinavian Hymn Medley as recent solo piano releases in March 2026.

Melody Bober brings a pedagogue's eye to her compositions. She earned degrees in music education from the University of Illinois and in piano performance from Minnesota State University, Moorhead, and her approach to writing duets reflects a deep understanding of how students learn. Her Grand Duets series has become a staple because she writes pieces that motivate players at every level.

Martha Mier established her reputation as an internationally recognized composer and clinician after joining Alfred Music in 1989. Her Jazz, Rags & Blues series has shaped how teachers introduce jazz idioms to intermediate students, and her work remains among the most played educational piano music worldwide.

Dennis Alexander's prolific output of over 400 publications has made him one of the most widely performed educational composers globally. After teaching piano pedagogy for 24 years at the University of Montana, he brought that classroom experience into his writing, creating duets like The Magic of Christmas that work equally well for lesson and recital.

Catherine Rollin combines performance and teaching into her compositional voice. She holds degrees from the University of Michigan and Oakland University, and her masterclasses across North America, Japan, and Taiwan have shaped how teachers approach her work. Her Nutcracker Suite for Two demonstrates her gift for reimagining familiar music so that young duet partners feel the weight of classical tradition.
