The Irish Duet Fun Book for Cello (Irish Duet Fun Book Series)

The Irish Duet Fun Book for Cello transforms 28 beloved traditional Irish tunes into engaging, classroom-ready duets designed to build real musicianship while students have fun playing music they love.Each duet is carefully written so that both cello parts are musically satisfying.
