thanks a lot! my CCM audition is on feb 4...GOOD LUCK!

wow thanks a lot. that was a big help =)

Just from listening to L5Y, it seems like his accompaniment parts are very intricate. This puts accompanists on the spot, which is not something that you really want to do at an audtion; you want to make it as easy for them as you can so that they can help you look good.

Some of Lippa's material may be hard to accompany as well.
