Editorial Reviews

SM05C Between Tot and Teen offers a wide selection of original music, selections from different ballets and familiar tunes. Each selection is in the public domain and is played with a clear beat that is easy to follow. It is a great way to introduce dancers of this age group to different ballet music and not distract them with songs they know. This solo piano music for beginning ballet class contains repeats in the same track and starts with foot exercises followed by two different plies many different tendu exercises and preparation steps.

I use this cd for my boys ballet class. The music is nice and I don't have to worry about repeating the same song when they have to do both sides of the bar.

I love CDs that make students smile. This one is especially appropriate for the beginning levels. The tempos are strong and clear and the accents are perfect. The music is never heavy. The music for center work helps keep the class moving at an energetic pace. Thank you Steven Mitchell.

Steven Mitchell has yet again created a fantastic cd for the ballet classroom. I enjoy using this cd for younger levels and pre-teen classes. The musical choices are well thought out and the recording quality sounds great.
