Proofreading for Rymans’ Benesh for Ballet - Book 1

Diğer, ss.1-28, 2018

These worksheets are intended to give you practice writing Benesh Movement Notation (BMN) in the context of classical ballet.

This will help you master BMN principles and also consolidate basic ballet terminology.

There is no need to complete every question. Rather, complete as much of each lesson as you feel you need to master the new signs introduced.

If you feel confident, you may copy any of the examples onto red-lined stave paper.
A printable pdf is provided at the end of these worksheets.

In order to reinforce your ability to read BMN, you should stand up and perform each sequence before attempting to copy it.

Don't copy blindly, but rather make sure you understand each sequence notated and the relevant Benesh theory.
