Ballet Class Sheet Music

original piano sheet music for ballet barre and center practice

Author: Robert Long

Working as a ballet class pianist/accompanist, I have created three albums of music for ballet class: Ballet Etudes (2000), Etudes II (2005) and Ballet Class Music: Etudes Volume 3 (2013). Two of my selections have been used in television, including Netflix series "The Crown" (season 4, episode 3). Ballet Jorgen has produced an instructional video, using several selections from my three albums.
