Author: Sue Mills (RAD RTS Teaching Diploma) These CDs are an excellent resource to complement your syllabus music for ballet, particularly for free work and adult classes. Modern Melodies: A selection of lighthearted familiar tunes. Great fun! West End To Broadway: A must for musical Theatre lovers. Inspirational! New Classics: Moving melodies for the traditionalist. I found myself just wanting to listen to the music when planning my classes and that rarely happens! And I can’t wait to get through all the whole collection in class. The ones that we have used so far have been inspirational and it is wonderful to see students refreshed by new music! Unlike many stock music collections I found these to be beautifully arranged and played with introductions, essential for barre and centre practice work. I also found the accompanying information with each piece to be of real value. Giving you suggestions for exercises and the duration of the piece. Some good lengthy arrangements are included which enables the dancer to strengthen their stamina or for the teacher to arrange more complex combinations. I would recommend them to any teacher working with a wide range of pupils and types of classes – a valuable musical resource. |
