Details:
Music for Ballet Class: the Ballet Etudes CD provides ballet class music for ballet instructors and dance students.
Hello, I''m Robert Long, composer and pianist of the Ballet Etudes CD, my first ballet class music CD. I have been employed as a ballet class music accompanist with several studios over a period of about 20 years. In that time, I have worked with many wonderful ballerinas, teachers and students.
Ballet Etudes came from my experiences and background and I believe it will be a useful and enjoyable aid to ballet instructors and students. Ballet Etudes was released in 2000; and it has been a favorite for ballet classroom use, or private study.
BARRE AND BATTERIE SELECTIONS PLAYED TWICE FOR CLASSROOM CONVENIENCE
I hope you''ll listen to my music samples, and please contact me; I''d be glad to hear your questions and comments!
CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE: A few years back, this CD was revised and remastered in response to customer feedback. In its current format it has been much more successful. As a result, however, some of the liner notes information is misleading. To view and print an up-to-date album tracks sheet, please cut and paste this link into your browser:

"I have received the CD, and I love it!. . . You are a wonderful composer. . . Even though your
style is geared to ballet, you make sure that the rhythms are correct and that the melodies
are uplifting and that the phrasing makes sense."
- Dina Raker Vail, The Woodlands, TX, 7/18/01
". . . I wanted to compliment you for a thoughtfully conceived and beautifully done project. It
will be most helpful in my classroom!"
- Kelley Seagle, Shelby, NC, 8/22/01
"I just wanted to let you know that I have been using your CD the past two weeks and I love it.
I find it very inspirational, I like the fact that there is short versions and long versions of the
same pieces. . . I found that I am ONLY using your CD for many of my classes. Reason being is
that all the music I need is all on the ONE CD which is very convenient for me to have right at
my fingertips."
- Julia Mounsteven, Brampton, Ontario, 9/16/01
"I had to write and tell you what a wonderful CD this is. . . The music speaks to you. As a former
member of Joffrey and Elliot Feld Ballet Co. it is hard to find music that will challenge you.
My students are responsive and can''t wait for the next class."
- Monica Digrindakis, Wayne, NJ, 10/01/01
"I just wanted to write to you to say thanks for an extremely usable CD! My students love it as
an alternative to the syllabus music. The dynamics and phrasing in the adagio pieces are
inspiring to students and teachers. We really appreciate the consistent tempi of the allegro
pieces! We look forward to another equally enjoyable class with Mr. Long''s music."
- Margaret Engle, Charlottesville, VA, 12/15/01

the large number of selections you include in just one CD. Your compositions are musically
interesting, and inspire true "dancing"."

Ballet Instructor at Ballet Conservatory in Florida and have been using your CD in class

of your fantastic arrangements. The students especially the Dance Company young adults
have enjoyed your wonderful pieces. Not a class goes by without one of them commenting
on how much they enjoy dancing to your CD."

tango and ragtime for ballet combinations."
- Elaine Dowling, Cleveland, OH, 12/11/04

Your music is pure remedy for the soul. . ."

"Your CD, Ballet Etudes, is absolutely amazing. . . I have been teaching ballet about 9 years and this
is one of my favorite albums. What I like most about this is that you have multiple options for each
segment of class work. This is very hard to find and makes it easy to use one disc for multiple class levels."
