Some words of wisdom:

• Make sure the song is in your range.  If you have questions, contact a vocal teacher or ask your music teacher at school.  Some of the suggested songs are NOT easily sung by all children.  It's perfectly all right to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star or She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain. 

• Do not try to mimic popular singers; musical directors really don't like to hear that.  Let your voice come out naturally -- don't push it!

• You want to show your best at auditions - stick with songs you know.  Don't try to impress the directors with difficult or complicated music, just be yourself.  You will not get judged on the title of the song you picked, but you WILL get judged on how you sing it.
