Battle isn't the only way to make friends. Sometimes, you don't need an instrument of destruction to get someone on your side — you just need an instrument. Duet Bonding happens any time a pair of people become a little closer because they play music together. This can lead to a new Love Interest, or just help them get to know each other a bit better. The piano is the most often used instrument, probably because the pair needs to sit close together to play. On occasion, only one of the two makes music, while the other dances to it. A lighthearted option is Karaoke Bonding Scene. A sub-trope of Let's Duet. See also Dance of Romance, Love at First Note. May introduce a Love Theme. For listening to music together, see Bonding Through Shared Earbuds. |

Happens in the first Thursday Next book, The Eyre Affair. The protagonist and another man play a literal piano duet, both playing the same piano at the same time but different parts of the piece. Not a straight-up example, because the two had been lovers in the past, but they weren't together at the time. | |

Being a music-focused series, Sound! Euphonium does this multiple times to explore the relationships between its characters. After scaling a small mountain and making a "confession of love", Kumiko and Reina play a euphonium-and-trumpet duet titled "The Place We Found Love". Later in season 2, Kumiko and her senpai Asuka perform a euphonium duet of the eponymous piece, "Sound! Euphonium", leading them to further open up to each other. Most of Liz and the Blue Bird involves flutist Nozomi and oboist Mizore being chosen to play a duet in the tone poem "Liz and the Blue Bird", and their increasingly complicated struggles in understanding both the piece and each other. When they finally understand the piece by relating it to their own experiences, they perform it perfectly in a rehearsal, which causes Nozomi to break down crying and eventually leads to the emotional climax of the film. |

Lucifer: In "A Priest Walks Into A Bar", Lucifer does everything he can to mock and question Father Frank's faith, moral fiber and motivations, but when Frank reveals he used to play for a rock band, the two end up doing an impressive piano duet. After Father Frank is killed, Lucifer is alone playing "Knocking On Heaven's Door" (which he had earlier derided Frank for playing) when Chloe turns up just to comfort him. Despite her minimal piano skills he coaxes her into joining him in a rendition of "Heart and Soul", with the two clearly enjoying the moment. | |

Done multiple times in Melody: At Amy’s birthday dinner, the protagonist notices a piano in the corner of the restaurant. He asks Melody to play a duet with him to show Amy (and Arnold, if he’s there) what she’s been learning. Melody is very nervous, but performs well after the protagonist reassures her. If the protagonist is giving lessons to Sophia, he gets a more private duet with her. He improvises on the piano, and has her join in. Also if the protagonist is giving lessons to Sophia, he makes their last lesson of the summer a joint lesson, in which the two girls play a duet. |

In Pitch Perfect the Bellas sing together all the time but Beca remains aloof as she joined the Bellas because her father made completing one year of college and joining a club a prerequisite for him giving her financial aid to go to L.A to pursue her dream of becoming a music producer. In the Riff-Off scene when Beca initiate singing No Diggity we see her enjoying herself but she's walking around the other Bellas most of the time. When on the bus Chloe starts singing Party In The USA and the other Bellas join in except for Beca who at first makes a "no way I'm singing that" face with all the Bellas looking at her expectantly. She then starts belting the song with feeling, showing herself a Bella without reservation. | |

In Victorian era fantasy novel Darkness Visible, Lewis plays the piano, and Marsh the violin. Both are experts, and the first time Lewis offers to play a duet with Marsh it is a clear sign that their relationship has changed. They go on to play together many times, using the music as a much-needed emotional release when neither of them can express themselves in words. | |

We get a first hint that she is not what she seems by the fact that not only Data, but she too can play inhumanly precise and fast... In Lessons Picard bonded with Lt. Nella Daren over a duet where he played his Ressikan flute and she played a small portable piano. One of the duets ends in their first kiss. In Star Trek: Voyager, the EMH realizes that he has a crush on Seven of Nine while they are practicing Seven's singing abilities. |

Glee: This is how Jesse seduces Rachel when they first meet. And then again when Jesse returns to McKinley. Rachel resolving a feud while singing "Take Me or Leave Me". Blaine solidifying his foray into bisexuality with Rachel with "Don't You Want Me." Blaine does it again, this time with Kurt - their rampant flirtation solidifies with "Baby, It's Cold Outside," and "Candles", which takes place right after their Relationship Upgrade, is an entire song of them staring dopily and dreamily into each others' eyes like they can't believe they've just found each other. Blaine even hangs a lampshade on the Candles duet; right before The Big Damn Kiss he flat out tells Kurt that the duet would be an excuse to spend more time with him. Invoked and averted simultaneously. While temporarily the coach Finn orders this for two pairs of members who are at odds with each other. While Marley does seem to like Kitty just a little more after their cover of Holding Out For A Hero its clear at the end that Kitty might be/probably is faking. As for Jake/Ryder, Jake and Ryder end up in a fight during their rendition of Superman, forcing Finn to deal with it. Rachel also had a duet with her mother (Lady Gaga's song "Poker Face") when she found out who she was. Community mocks Glee's use of the trope - Troy and Annie's Buffy Speak-laden attempt is thwarted by Shirley. And also subverted when Rachel and Mr. Shuester sing a duet overlaid with each character's internal monologues about each other. Rachel suddenly realizes that Mr. Shuester isn't so bad, and that they have a real connection. Mr. Shuester suddenly realizes that Rachel has had the aforementioned thought process. |

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Saria teaches Link Saria's Song and gives him his first wooden ocarina, Malon teaches him Epona's Song and gives him his horse, and Zelda teaches him the Song of Time and gives him the Ocarina of Time. Also, Shiek, who is actually Zelda in disguise, teaches Link all of the teleporting songs when he's an adult. In a slightly less lovey-dovey example, Impa teaches Link Zelda's Lullaby. | |

Classi9 uses this trope multiple times: Liszt and Chopin have been playing together since they were children and Chopin feels better in general on stage when playing with someone. Ren gets a lot of this. Her first duet is with Beethoven when she helps him compose a piece after she finds one of his suicide notes and ends up receiving her first hug. She then asks for Liszt and Chopin's help to increase her fluidity on the piano, and they are still talking about tutoring and exchanging tips several chapters later. Ren also plays one of her own pieces with Mozart at a dinner party, which brings them even closer. Her last collaboration in the manga is with Bach for the school festival and helps to cement their companionship. Salieri presumably hoped for this trope to happen if he was working with Rentarou for the festival too. The festival is full of bonding moments between unusual pairs because roommates were not allowed to work together. Tchaikovsky, in particular, got to work with Liszt and interacted long enough with Demon!Liszt to try and hit on him. Liszt rejected him like his less demonic persona, but he did so playfully and declared Tchaiko as both Liszts' friend. Beethoven and Wagner got friendlier thanks to the festival, or at least Wagner got better at accepting Beethoven's signs of affection and worked on being nicer to him. Wagner still won't let the Master Musician hug him, but at least he shakes his hand now. |

Black Rain. American cop Charlie Vincent is challenged to sing karaoke in a Japanese nightclub by Detective Masahiro Masamoto; he launches into a rendition of Ray Charles "What'd I Say" and drags a reluctant Masahiro up on stage as well. This helps break the ice after a rocky start between the Japanese and US detectives. Note that the protagonist Detective Nick Conklin doesn't take part in this, and it takes a lot longer for Masahiro and Nick to form a bond mainly from their shared grief over Charlie's murder. | |

Most of Liz and the Blue Bird involves flutist Nozomi and oboist Mizore being chosen to play a duet in the tone poem "Liz and the Blue Bird", and their increasingly complicated struggles in understanding both the piece and each other. When they finally understand the piece by relating it to their own experiences, they perform it perfectly in a rehearsal, which causes Nozomi to break down crying and eventually leads to the emotional climax of the film. | |

The Little Mermaid (1992) introduces Gabriella in "Wish Upon a Starfish", a mermaid who can neither hear nor speak. She meets Ariel when the latter is singing about wanting to be able to dance like a human. Gabriella, who is good at Reading Lips and Body Language, shares her desire to be able to sing like Ariel can and tells Ariel about the Wishing Starfish who can grant both their wishes. They go look for him, but it turns out he can't. In the end, the mermaids decide they're good anyway: Ariel can dance her way and Gabriella can sing a "song you can see with your eyes", which is shown off during the shared song "Daring to Dance". | |
