Detail 01
Duets, not solos
Every piece needs two players. Alone, you practice one line with silence where the other part goes.

Carl Fischer14 Duets for Trombone Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A print book of 14 trombone duets, for two players. For a trombonist who wants ensemble reading practice with a teacher, section mate, or friend.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lesson time with a teacher who plays the second part
- Two trombonists in a section wanting reading practice together
- Building ensemble timing, tuning and blend outside of band
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A player with nobody to play the second part with
- Someone wanting solo repertoire for auditions or recitals
- Bass or valve trombone players needing part-specific writing
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Trombone-specific
Written for the instrument's range and slide positions rather than transcribed from another horn's part.
Detail 03
14 pieces
A short collection. Expect a semester of lesson material, not a year-long curriculum.
Detail 04
Carl Fischer edition
A long-running educational publisher, so teachers are likely to already know and assign this book.
Detail 05
Bass clef
Standard trombone notation. A player who only reads treble-clef band parts will need to adjust.
Detail 06
Under $20
Cheap enough that both players can own a copy instead of sharing one stand.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Book only — no audio accompaniment tracks
- 02You need a second player; confirm before buying

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this by myself?
Partly. You can practice either line as a solo exercise, but the pieces are written to interlock, so you lose the harmony and the timing reference the second part provides.
02Is this for beginners or advanced players?
It's most commonly used as lesson and duet-reading material rather than as advanced recital repertoire. Ask your teacher whether it fits your current reading level before ordering.
03Does it come with a CD or download?
It's a printed book. If you want play-along audio for the second part, look for a separate accompaniment product.
04Will this work for euphonium or baritone?
A bass-clef euphonium or baritone player reads the same notation and can play these parts, though the writing targets trombone range and technique.
