The Teen's Musical Theatre Collection: Young Women's Edition

Ordered for my 8 year old and it is the perfect book with great song selections!

Should have been listed as "good" at best...

BEWARE! The first time I ordered this book, by description, I thought I was getting the CD also. Well, just the book came. I talked to an Amazon agent and he confirmed that by description, he thought I should have received the CD also. He processed an RA and I under his direction I proceeded to order another book and CD, so we thought. A few days later I received another book and no CD. Again, I called Amazon and told the agent that I now had 2 books and no CD. Before I could express my dissatisfaction, she was apologizing up and down and told me that I should order a CD and she would refund both book purchases, not process an RA for the second book, and cancel the RA for the first book I received, and give me a $20.00 dollar credit on my account on top of it all. I was so shocked!! I couldn't believe what I just heard. She said that Amazon wants to keep its customers loyal and happy while maintaining their high customer satisfaction rating. Both agents that I spoke with very polite, courteous, etc. In the end I got 2 books, a CD, and a $20.00 credit on my account just as she said I would. I'm still surprised at the end result. Even though it took a little effort to get the correct items to me, Amazon exemplified customer service to the highest degree. Keep up the good work Amazon, I'm a HAPPY Customer! On another note, my daughter's voice professor recommended this book and my daughter loves it!

Wonderful vocal book - my daughter is excited to use this for her voice lessons! Her teacher specifically requested we get the version with the recorded audio accompaniment. I read the comments for the book and it sounded like the version I was getting had the audio file code included - but it did not! I returned the version without the audio file code and repurchased the same book with the audio file code included.PAY ATTENTION to the image for the book you are purchasing - it's NOT clear in the title or description - you will only notice a small difference at the TOP of the book where there is a note about the audio files being included.I hope this helps others!!!

Great songs

The book came in good condition. It is also good for young voices.

My 13-year-old is taking group voice lessons. Last year, we just had to go with the book the teacher chose. She just didn't connect with any of the songs in it. This year, we shopped for our own and bought on Amazon because the price was so much more reasonable than from the publisher's website. This book had many songs that she really enjoys! We love the accompanyment CD and often keep it in the car so she can gain additional practice, especially while we're traveling to/from her lessons. For recital, she sang both "God Help the Outcasts," which brought serious tears to her daddy's eyes and "Think of Me." The arrangements are slightly different from the movie versions, but still very nice. If you're not sure which book to get, I recommend checking at the Hal Leonard website for additonal details but then come back here to order for the great price and service! Just make sure that you compare the identical book and read carefully for such items as the accompanyment CD, as they have many similarly-named choices.My daughter now wants me to get the book of solos from the musical "Wicked!" In this family, we love 'defying gravity.'Have a great day!Lark

The Teen's Musical Theatre Collection: Young Women's Edition was recommended by our granddaughter's voice instructor and she could not have picked a better starting book for a 12 year old girl. There is a CD that accompanies the book so practice is easier and if the occasion arises to perform, the CD can be used to accompany the singer. The pitch range of the book is varied enough to supply altos and sopranos with a nice choice of songs. The only problem I had with the book was some of the selections are from musicals that are really old and have not been redone recently enough for a teen to be familiar with the songs, but it does supply a good musical history because of that. Many of the songs are from musicals that teens have grown up with so the interest of the teen in those songs is high. Great buy that will provide years of entertainment and instruction!

Excellent book for beginners and professionals.The choice of songs is amazing with a couple of titles you do not find easily.They come with piano backing tracks played by a skilled professionals. They can come very useful for rehearsals and auditions and not only for kids.I bought a second hand one and it came with a cd, so I cannot comment on the downloads of the audio online version.Highly recommended for professionals use.

has been fairly useful for my lessons. Piano tracks have too much reverb for my tastes and you have to go with the feel of the pianist when you perform rather than the other way around. Still, it's useful for learning songs. Songs tend to be once round only so not useful for older singers who may want a piano solo and then back in again.

This was for my daughter who was looking for some backing tracks for a selection of songs from musicals.She was very happy with the book and selection of songs

No cd with this although other reviewers state there is one. Disappointed and will be returning item

The book is fine but NO CD which was very disappointing as I needed the CD for my performance.
