NYC Tap, Vol. 1 by Thommie Retter, is the first in a series of technique classes, including Barre and Center Floor exercises and combinations designed to make your classes productive and impressive. This technique is an excellent “enhancer” for your low intermediate-level students.
Thommie Retter was a student of Al Gilbert’s, so you will see a solid foundation of tap steps, just like building blocks, throughout this collection. Including this work in your tap class will reinforce your tapper’s ability. It’s fun, it’s fresh, and it WORKS!
All the music in this technique series is original piano accompaniment with upbeat rhythms orchestrated specifically for each exercise. Each track is offered with vocal instruction by Thommie Retter AND instrumental tracks. Many tracks are provided with multiple tempos as well.
