I'm a bit bored so I thought I'd compile a list of MT songs suitable for teen girls (ie DD), and then I realised I really didn't have a clue Blush

Thoroughly Modern Millie probably has one or two & My Fair Lady and then I get stuck!

I'll add a bit more that I just put on a previous, similar, thread :

QUOTE
These days, with amplification and recording, a huge voice is not necessary. Peggy Lee, Blossom Dearie, and today Lily Allen, are not powerful singers, and there must be others who are, nevertheless, effective performers. And even a LOVELY voice is not always essential - think of Eartha Kitt or Louis Armstrong.

Playing for Old Time Music Hall, in the '70s, our pianist had several talented children, who today are prominent in the stage musical world; I knew Maria and Sonia Friedman, when they were 14 and 8 respectively.

Listen to Maria Friedman's recording of "Broadway Baby" to hear what REAL singing is!

Just listened to her in some other things (can't find Broadway Baby) & she's lovely

DD is quite a good singer but I guess I hear her more in choirs rather than solo so it's hard to judge. She is useful in a choir as she can fit in across quite a range. In her private singing lessons she has been working on her transition from head to chest & back again as it's an area she struggles with - although she is fine singing either
