Welcome to my Violin Fun Duets page. The Violin Fun Duets are pieces for either two violins, or first and second section violins. The Violin Fun Duets can also be played by viola, cello, guitar, piano two hands, piano duet, recorders, etc.
The second violin part will always be much easier to play. Most of the pieces will use only open strings or limited use of the left hand. The first violin part will be a little more difficult for players who are comfortable using all fingers in first position.
I have included a pdf file for each. This is so you can print out the sheet music. I also have mp3 files so you can hear what they sound like. And, there are MIDI files, if your computer can't handle the mp3 files.
Also included for each song is a Streaming QuickTime 7 video file of the notation scrolling and playing to help better understand how the parts and repeats work. You will also notice that I have included "The Details" videos. This is where I explain what the symbols mean in the notation, and the teaching points of each song, technique, etc.
The best way to get to the files you want is by "Right-Clicking" ("Option Clicking" in Macintosh) on them, then saving them to a chosen location on your computer. That way, you'll have more printing options, the ability to put the mp3s into your player, AND, you'll be able to resize the videos to a larger size then is available when viewing from within the web page. The videos will play full screen if you download them and put them in a iLife 06 version of iTunes.

Hope you enjoy!

p.s.
At the bottom of the list, is an mp3 of all 10 pieces (a little over 12 minutes long) to download to your iPod or other mp3 player.
