The Music for Ballet Classes series is a collection of CDs designed to recreate as closely as possible the sound, feel and inspiration working with a talented live pianist.

This compilation includes a wide selection of musical styles and tempi, all featuring the sound of a beautiful Steinway Model D grand piano.

Every track has been tailored to lsat for an even number of musical counts, and each track starts with a four bar introduction.  You will find detailed information on the number of counts and time signature for each track on the back of the CD case..
