asked by bestseller on November 1, 2006 2:56 AM
This publication is a hit! With almost 30 great songs in each volume from the stage and movie musicals, it has become indispensible in teaching young singers. There are plot notes included for each song. Hal Leonard has had many, many requests for recorded accompaniments for this two-book series. Now there is new edition, with a companion CD of accompaniments for practice. Young Men's Edition includes: The Bare Necessities * Everybody Ought to Have a Maid * Friend like Me * Luck Be a Lady * On the Street Where You Live * Puttin' on the Ritz * Sixteen Going on Seventeen * The Surrey with the Fringe on Top * and more.

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.

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.

Since I don't really play the piano (yet), I was happy that this book came with a cd with a piano accompianist. The songs in this book don't go very high, and they are not very difficult. It is great for beginners, and the songs are familiar and fun. I do agree with the reviewer who said not to use these songs in auditions, however. The reason is that these songs are overly done, so the people doing the auditions cry inside when they hear the same song repeatedly. Great for beginners or people just trying to have fun.
