Question:

What musical theatre tunes do you believe are essential and appropriate to teach to young children (5-7)?

When I was that age I really loved Sound of Music and Music Man - the songs were fun and many of them were easy for me to sing.

I also really liked much of Oliver. The first song I ever used for an audition was "Where is Love"

Sound Of Music was my favorite when I was little.

When I was in 2nd grade, we learned "Be Kind to Your Parents" from FANNY.

At that age I loved Sound of Music, Annie, and strangely My Fair Lady.

That is a songbook full of songs (well, okay, not full) that children originally sang on Broadway. If that link doesn't work, it's called Kids' Broadway Songbook.

Hope that helps!
