This Playlist is a collection of new waltzes I composed/arranged during the Spring semester at Smith College, where I presently work as a Ballet Accompanist.  With two exceptions, they are my own compositions, and are copyrighted as such.  Basically, I would improvise with ideas during the class, then develop them further at home.  They are performed as they would be in class, with a simple, cadential introduction, and in strict tempos and phrases of 8 measures, so as to correspond to the exercises done at the bar and on the floor of the classes where I play.  
I offer them here with sincere thanks to Roger Blum, Elie Goudie-Averill, and Erin Kouwe, who taught the classes where I created this work; and, of course, to all the dancers participating there, with their kind words of thanks and encouragement.
