Editorial Reviews
Gretchen Gunther, New York City ballet teacher, principle dancer/Staten Island Ballet, Classics Dance Theatre
...one of my very favorite of all ballet class CDs. It’s such likable music, played with passion and precision!"

from Attitude Magazine, fall/winter 1999, review by Robert Atwood
...extremely danceable, ... characterized by a high level of quality musicianship...

Album Description
Leaning on Tradition, Volume 1 The music on this CD, beautifully arranged for ballet class, draws predominantly on late nineteenth century ballet, opera, and classical music. There are some well known variations plus outstanding dance music from rarely seen ballets. All are performed with energy and elegance, hall-marks of Doug’s playing.

•Barre exercises never too short and with even numbers of counts (no extra balance music)
•Very long selections for pirouettes and allegros in the center
•Seventy minutes or more in length
•Royalty-free classroom use (no ASCAP or BMI fees)

Best music for teaching young dancers out there.......2005-01-04

I have danced professionally and taught ballet for over ten years. Schultz understands dancers and what they need. The tempos and musicality are perfect. This CD is good for any level but, it is excellent for teaching younger dancers. The music is very easy to count without being boring. It will help them to do the steps right just by listening to the music and the accents. The jacket cover is also very well done and teacher-friendly. It lists the steps the music is intended for and the length of each piece. He gives each step two tracks (ie. enough music for both sides). It is a delight to have ballet music that is enjoyable to listen.
