The Music for Ballet Classes series is a collection of CDs designed to provide dancers and dance teachers with all the music necessary for a complete classical ballet class. Each compilation includes a selection of musical pieces in a variety of styles and tempi, all featuring the sound of a Yamaha C3 Neo grand piano.

Every track has been tailored to last for an even number of musical counts, and each track starts with a four bar introduction. Exercises at the barre are repeated on the following track for ease of running.

This third volume continues with the same winning formula that has made volumes one and two such a success. You will find delightful tunes from popular classics, ballet repertoire and traditional music, guaranteed to move and inspire you.
