Description
“Les Petits” Ballet Class Music for Very Young Children by Nolwenn Collet
in collaboration with Nicola Fargas – Tutus & Tempo Collection Vol I
A compilation of ballet class music for a pre-school class beautifully recorded on a Steinway!
From the album notes:
Each piece has been specifically composed with the youngest of dancers in mind, taking inot careful consideration the style, tempo and particularly the length of each track – crutial to the success of any exercise for this age group. This selection of pieces does not include music for specific technical exercises (plies, battements tendus etc…) but instead uses creative pieces to allow the teacher to “disguise” these movements in a beautiful dance or through exciting role play exercises.We hope the Creative Dance and mime section inspires and excites our future generation of young dancers!
….. Nolwenn and Nicola
Comes with a booklet of suggested ideas for use of pieces and towards the creation of an entirely new and beginners ballet class.
