During their more than 15
years of creative collaboration, pianist Douglas
Corbin and ballet teacher David Howard have
developed an exquisite understanding of the
relationship between music and dance. This
double-length album of solo piano music presents
the essence of their creative work for the
ballet class. Douglas Corbin creates a varied
flow of 46 melodies and rhythms, holding the
dancer's attention. He has chosen themes largely
from his own compositions, adding touches from
the classics, jazz, and popular songs with no
vocal instruction. David Howard's notes and
ideas can be seen directly in the video, "Visual
Notes", in which he teaches two students using
all the music contained on the album.

Visual Notes to "Music For Ballet Class" This DVD accompanies the
album (CD sold separately), David Howard &
Douglas Corbin - Music for Ballet Class and
contains a complete ballet class for
intermediate level training. David Howard
instructs two dancers from the David Howard
Dance Center by clearly showing each combination
of steps before the music starts and offering
suggestions after the exercise is over. The
dancers demonstrate the exercises in both
directions at the Barre and all the combinations
in the center. Douglas Corbin has created
arrangements of twenty-four melodies to be used
in the ballet class. The standard four-count
introduction is combined with easy to follow
rhythms and uplifting melodies. Each selection
on the album is contained on this visual
demonstration with some of the longer melodies
for center work fading out after the exercise
has been performed several times. This DVD is a non-chaptered video
stream in a clear unmarked case which shows the
label of the disc. What's this?
