Following on from our recent episode ‘Show tunes – how many show tunes it a show tune too many‘ – we’ve sparked lots of discussion and engagement on email and social media. Chris took it upon himself this week to go full on Broadway and West End in class for a while.
Below Chris is playing tunes from Carousel, Fiddler On The Roof, A Little Night Music, The Producers and The Book of Mormon.

It’s been quite a journey over the last few months, learning from each other and not to mention the amazing feedback we’ve received on email or via the social media channels.
On Sunday 10th July the Ballet Piano Podcast will be doing our first ever live stream on YouTube.
