Accompanying a classical ballet technique class contains different elements and difficulties for a pianist when compared to accompanying instruments and voice. The score is specific when accompanying instrument or voice whereas the pianist is mostly free to choose the music suitable for the movments in a ballet class. Due to this exact problem the ballet instructor and the accompanist have problems from time to time. In this case the pianist’s experience plays a big role for the class course. The professional ballet pianist has mastered the essential elements for the class, therefore the problems are solved quickly. On the other hand these problems will be challenging for the unexperienced accompanist. In this study preliminary preparation and essentials to pay attention for during the class for beginner and amateur ballet pianists are addressed in general terms. The biggest motivation for doing this research is the lack of Turkish sources on this specific subject. I hope this will not be a guide only for the pianist but will help the ballet instructor to see the problems from the accompanist’s point of view as well.
