Broadway Presents! Kids' Musical Theatre Anthology: A Treasury of Songs from Stage & Film, Specially Designed for Young Singers! (Book & CD)

This is my new go to book for teaching musical theatre. Great collection of fun songs.

Great selection of songs, ideally for Primary age students.

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.

Great book!

My only issue with this book is that the songs are mostly girls' songs and there isn't much for my male singing pupils in it! otherwise great, piano part is fairly simple (grade 6 probably) and it has a good choice of old and new musical songs.
