I need to encourage an 11 year old flautist and 12 year old cellist to 
practice during the school summer holiday (which starts next week here 
in the US) and thought trying some group playing might be better than 
getting each to do solo practice. Are there any books that would cover 
such instruments and if so anyone know sources? Beyond NSP there are 
other instruments I play that could join in with them so general 
British folk music arranged for assorted instruments would also be good.


Thanks,

Ian

Those who use them seem to think highly of them.

Aren't there a couple of LBPS books of such duets etc as well?

Hope this helps

And Matt Seattle has published 3 books called 'Airs for Pairs', 'Airs for
Pairs 2', and 'Scottish Airs for Pairs'.

I thought they might be out of print, but a quick google suggests they are
still available - though maybe not with the original delightful cover art.

   These are now published by [1]www.mally.com

   I should think the majority of the tunes and many of the harmonies
   would fit NSP
