“Ballet Class Music for the Young
Dancer Vol. 2” picks up where the first volume
left off. This class is slightly more advanced
with a more standard barre and center. The music
for each Barre exercise is exactly repeated and
meant to be used for the same exercise on the
other side. These 35 original compositions
are composed and arranged by Soren Bebe and are
created especially for children’s ballet classes
(age 4-10 years). Like the first volume, this
music contains simple uncomplicated rhythms with
clear melodies that are easy to hear. There is
not much syncopation in this music, and you can
tell that Soren is concentrated on keeping this
music available to the younger dancer. Compared
to volume one, the center music on this album
contains many more allegro compositions along
with a Mazurka, Polonaise and Coda. This music
is designed to challenge the young dancer and
make them want to dance more.
