Play a duet. Record one part, then play the second part along with your own recording! If you need some music, we recommend the collection by Steve Hendricks. It is easy to find two part pieces because the selections all list the number of parts. The level of difficulty is varied, so you will have to check that out for yourself, as well as sorting out the best instrument to play for each part.
