New Mexico has a way of getting into everything:  the light, the landscape, and apparently the music. These duets grew out of recent years of playing, teaching, and soaking up the spirit of New Mexico.

Each piece started with a name. Clovis Man, Yucca Trail, Tumbleweeds. The titles came first, and the music followed. That’s just how it works for me. If a name has character, the piece usually finds its own way from there.

Along with being fun to play, these duets give you something to work on like double tonguing, rhythm, dynamics, style. All tucked into music you’ll actually want to share with someone. That’s a better way to improve than working through exercises alone.
