When I write etudes I really try to work on aspects of live playing. Most of my etudes will be centered around tunes and focus on accompanying yourself playing a melody and soloing. Some of the etudes attempt to show how little you really have to play to accompany yourself and make the harmony work. There's a real misconception in my opinion about how much you have to play to accompany yourself in a solo setting. I don't think the vibes should be played like a piano. They're not a piano, they're a vibraphone. I try to reflect that as much as I can in these duets.

When you click on the link below you'll see a page with all the duets currently on the site that have audio with them. You can listen to each duet. You will also see a link for a pdf of the duet. Here they are.

Duets without audio will be listed here in the vibes book.
