The 18 works contained in this collection have been carefully arranged for any combination of two wind instruments. Each work was selected for its quality, musical interest, and appropriateness in a chamber setting. They are set in a variety of developmentally appropriate key signatures, time signatures, and technical levels so that each line is on a similar level of ability. With these selections, students will learn to cooperate and connect with each other while playing music of different cultures, different styles, and different composers. Intended to foster individual musicianship and true collaboration, this collection will grow more intuitive musicians who confidently share their music with their communities.
