* It happens on {{Victorious}} a few times, mainly with Tori and Andre.

* According to news for the LiveActionAdaptation of ''TheFairlyOddparents'', Timmy and Tootie will apparently have a song with this.

[[FireForgedFriends 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.

* In ''{{Gundam Wing}}'' Quatre and Trowa play a duet shortly after meeting, which cements the friendship they'll have for the rest of the series (and drives the shippers nuts).

* NodameCantabile: The show is essentially ''all about this''.
* Pictured above, Kahoko Hino and Len Tsukimori from KiniroNoCorda, playing their first duet together (yes, there is ''more'' after that).

* In ''{{Glee}}'' this is how Jesse seduces Rachel when they first meet.

** Link's Awakening was probably the first one. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiCSPEm3KuE&feature=player_detailpage#t=284s Link teaches Marin the hauntingly beautiful Ballad of the Wind Fish,]] later they go off on an adventure together, and you can't help but think about how [[spoiler: Marin is going to cease to exist]] when you play it to [[spoiler: open the Wind Fish's egg.]]

* Very common in the LegendOfZelda series. Especially since [[MemeticSexGod Link somehow manages to woo every woman main character he meets.]]

** In Ocarina Of Time, [[LoveDodecahedron Sariah teaches Link Saria's Song and gives him his first wooden ocarina, Zelda teaches him the Song of Time and gives him the Ocarina of Time, and Malon teaches him Epona's Song and gives him his horse.]]

* {{Sweeney Todd}}: AND HOW. Antony and Johanna, and in a weird sick way, Sweeney and Mrs. Lovett (Ah Miss/Kiss Me and My Friends, respectively)
* Follies: Although, it was more of an introduction to the audience, since the couple knew each other way back when, but it still counts.
* In {{Evita}}, Eva and Peron do this.
* Cosette and Marius in {{Les Miserables}}
* 'You and I' from {{Chess}} fits this trope
* {{Oklahoma}} Hoo Boy. Just about every song.
* {{The King and I}} Anna and the King, natch.
* {{Hello Dolly}} Cornelius and Irene
* In Shrek the Musical, Fiona and Shrek, during [[CounterpointDuet 'I Think I Got You Beat']]

* In ''{{Gundam Wing}}'' Quatre and Trowa playing classical instruments together shortly after meeting cements the friendship they'll have for the rest of the series (and drives the yaoi shippers absolutely nuts).

A sub-trope of [[LetsDuet Let's Duet]].

* NodameCantabile: How did we miss this? The show is essentially ''all about this''.

* Although they were already friends, the end of the Apartheid-based film ''{{Serafina}}'' has the title character and her male friend preform a duet they had been planning for the entire movie for a school concert. The problem is, by this point, their school has been burned down by the white police, so they're preforming for an invisible audience in the rubble.
