Defur Dog - This duet aims to capture the excitement of a happy, young dog leaping around. It stays in one hand position throughout for both players but provides plenty of practise in dynamics and articulation. Check out One, Two...Me and You Duets Book 1 - that's where you'll find this one. BTW I really do know a black labrador called Defur! https://stainer.co.uk/shop/c556/

When I was young I was desperate to play jazz, rock and funky pieces. I would definitely have loved this one! Syncop 8 from Even Cooler Piano book 3 (pub. Kevin Mayhew Ltd.) provides a fab study in syncopation and a great concert performance piece too. There are 11 other pieces in the book covering a wide variety of musical styles. Definitely one worth investigating if you don't have it already! https://www.kevinmayhew.com/products/even-cooler-3-3611883?srsltid=AfmBOoqh0ad2k7sRzELoLKqD0CaZb6KzURIQ-YhavBK2alGSgQ97hqtx -desc
