By Eddie Lewis
Introduce your students to the art of syncopation with this easy but fun trumpet duet. While it is not necessarily a performance piece, the "song" in this duet is fun for the students.
The inspiration to write this duet comes from the image at the top of the page. This is an image Eddie’s wife found on Gutenberg.org. She commented how a lot of the old piano sheet music used to have clever drawings. That’s when Eddie had the idea to do a trumpet duet in much of the same style as those classic piano books.
The range on Tug-O-War is only up to A in the staff. The only aspect of the trumpet duet that is not easy enough for beginners is the syncopation. That’s how Eddie likes to teach. Introduce the difficult aspects in a musical environment that understates all the other aspects. That way there is no need to really concentrate on more than one thing at once.
We recommend you first practice this easy trumpet duet with counting and clapping first. Make sure the rhythms are correct, then from that solid foundation, add the trumpet and the notes.
Tug-O-War is an educational trumpet duet and is part of Eddie Lewis’ complete method. This rhythmic focused duet is in our Trumpet Tyro skill level. What make is Trumpet Tyro is the eighth notes. In Eddie’s system, Trumpet Pioneer students (absolute beginners) have not been taught eighth notes yet.
To find more music for this specific skill level, search our other publications for the word "Tyro" in the title or descriptions. We publish books and compositions for students at the Trumpet Tyro level that we believe your students will truly enjoy.
