This has some great songs, especially for a beginner or high school student. I am a voice teacher and use the accomaniment cd which is also very well done.
Great book for teaching voice

This was one of the first books I purchased when I started teaching private voice lessons 3 years ago. It is such a great tool for the classroom especially because it comes with a CD of accompaniment tracks. It allows me to get away from the piano and pay attention to the student. The only problem with this book is the popularity....if that can really be a problem. I often hear that this is what teenage girls always get the audition selections from so everyone tends to sing the same thing.
Great for pianists/vocalists

I do singing lessons and my teacher recommended this book. I got it and it has been great. There are great songs for the preteen/teen girl. The songs include some well-known Disney songs such as: Part of Your World, Beauty and the Beast, and Feed the Birds, and songs from classic plays and their movie versions, like Memory, Think of Me, My Favorite Things, The Simple Joys of Maidenhood, I Could Have Danced All Night, and On My Own. I seriously recommend this book if you do piano or singing lessons, or want to. Great songs from great plays and movies. Buy it.
Great!!!!

I audition for musical theatre a lot. This book let me practice without an accompianist. I also had a different song for every audition. It has great songs. There were tons of great songs for sopranos and a few for altos. This is a great investment for musical theatre performers.
