Unset ballet classes are intensely valuable,
for EVERYONE in the studio!
Unset classes can foster an atmosphere of intense personal growth when a wide range of time signatures and music styles are used!
The Barre Pianist brand is here to be a driver of, often much needed, inspiring and exciting music knowledge so that the dancers and teachers of tomorrow will be strong and secure in their music rhythm, theory, understanding and abilities.
Hi, it's great to meet you!
I'm Lorel, the pianist behind the brand. As a dedicated ballet accompanist and music educator, I’ve discovered that ballet classes can be interesting and engaging or same old, same old. When a dance teacher is comfortable and confident counting any music type they want, ballet classes become truly special! The synergy between the music rhythms and the movements of dance becomes an unparalleled thrill!

Awesome! You'll likely find the most benefit from these two fabulous PDFs!
The first is a spreadsheet with a list of standard exercise types and then recommended music types divided by duple and triple meter, making it easy to keep class varied, music wise.
The second PDF you can choose to add on is a list of pianists who have recorded ballet class music albums. This has been a huge hit with teachers who like to keep class stimulating and their students engaged!
The musical development of your dancers is dependent on one thing...
you, their teacher.
