As a voice teacher, I really appreciate these songs as they bridge the gap between the 5-note wonders my young students hear on the radio and the lofty art songs to which they just can't relate. Not only do these selections stick to an appropriate range, but the catchy melodies and spunky rhythms inspire my image-conscious youngsters. And, the accompaniment CD makes consistent practice tangible for 'tweens who lack basic keyboarding skills. I find that this compilation hooks my young students. And, as they begin to understand the fundamentals of healthy technique and lovely sound production, I can successfully introduce a greater variety of repertoire.

Love, Love, Love this book! It's great for voice lessons and performances, and for choosing a 16-bar audition piece for musical theatre. The music CD has beautifully played accompaniments. So worth the money!

Love this book!! Especially for advancing vocal students who are auditioning and/or interested in a vocal collection that has current music appealing to middle school and early high school students.I also like the fact that there are a few songs appropriate for young male singers who have not had their voices change completely.The index is exceptionally well laid out with Song Title, Show Title and both book page # & CD Track #'s. But best of all... it gives the vocalist and teacher a vocal range. New singers often think they can handle songs with notes that are too high or too low and this quick reference takes out the guess work of song selection.The BEST thing about this collection... the 16-Bar Audition Cuts section. Here, the student gets a quick synopsis of each show in the collection, who wrote the show & how long the show ran on Broadway. Then come the details about the song or songs from that show and the 16-bar Audition cut that is suggested and why.When a singer performs for directors and casting agents, the one who is the most prepared, in character and "the part" has an definite edge to the novice.This was a new book for 2009-2010 year and I will definitely used it often.

The book is good and the accompaniment cd is good except the accompaniment to "I Just Can't Wait to be King" is the wrong song. It's not even close, I have no idea what song it is and it's the one song my son really wants to learn! I'll have to return it.

I like some of the songs in here- but they seemed to be in pretty low keys for children. I was disappointed in that, and it limited me to a few songs because of it. I was also disappointed the soundtrack didn't have a track with voice demonstration for the younger students to hear- I had hoped it could be a way for my student to listen and practice. But she won't be able to do that until after a few lessons of the song.

I'm a voice teacher and this book is awesome for my upper elementary, middle school, and even high school kids. The BEST part of it is that at the beginning it shows the voice range for every song. LOVE.

LOVE this collection, have been using it for many years with my younger (ages 9-12)voice students. However, I am attempting to locate a replacement CD for it. One of my students' borrowed the cd and it snapped in half. If anyone knows where I can acquire another cd, then I will be able to utilize this book for another few years! Thank you!

This is a great book I use with my vocal students, has a wide range of styles and the kids really love singing them. The accompaniment cd is good for being able to practice their songs at home..
