Let’s say you are someone who plays the piano pretty well. You took a lot of piano lessons in your younger days and sometimes play the piano at home, but you have never done anything more with it. If you’re a decent site-reader or you like to improvise, you might be able get a few hours a week playing the piano at your local ballet studio.
How It Works
Each ballet exercise, and there are roughly fifteen of them in a complete class, has its own unique music at a specific tempo and in a certain style. The quickest way to get an understanding of all this, is to go visit a ballet studio and watch a few classes from start to finish. By watching and listening you will get an idea of the sort of music that’s needed.
Don’t Reinvent the Wheel
Another extremely useful preparation is to buy an album of ballet class music. You’ll need to get an album that has a complete class so you can hear and see all the exercises in order. If you improvise, just go through one exercise at a time and try playing something similar to what the pianist on the album is doing. I would suggest Don Caron’s First Class Albums of ballet class music for this.
