"All praise to your encouraging text and helpful 
kindergarten / warmup philosophy! Those pages got me past some very rough times as I stuck to my near-daily practice even when things seemed most discouraging, and eventually they improved just as you predicted."
Lois in California
​

“I need to congratulate for your tutorial: the exercises are so good that would make easy for everyone to learn on playing the cornett. Following them, repeating them, it's a continuous improvement, day after day.”
Gabriele in Italy

"this is a handsome instrument and a thoughtfully composed book"
Peter in Canada

​"I just write to tell you that I have got great help from your book on how to play the cornetto. I need a good image in order to understand things, and that is exactly what your book provided."
Bruno in Sweden




​15 easy (but not THAT easy!) duos by Thomas Whythorne 1590 in various transpositions (23 pieces in total) for two cornetts ~ or any other equal instruments

We are proud to publish these duos
which have lurked unnoticed for centuries

These pieces do not require a virtuosic level of ability
​
but neither are they "fall-off-a-log" simple

Listen to the Duos and play them alongside Jeremy with "minus one" tracks
