Ballet Accompaniment
Accompanying a ballet class is an art form, one that requires a great deal of training and experience. This expertise is accessible through our ballet accompanist course that includes observation, theory and practice.
This training which can be taken in person or online, is accessible to pianists from all over the world!
We have trained musicians from all continents.
The training includes the following apprenticeships:
Each applicant must possess:
- Proficiency in classical or jazz piano
OR - a college or university diploma in piano
OR - previous experience in ballet accompaniment.
The selected candidate will be invited for a short audition and an interview.
