ADVICE: Please order your music online and/or from a local store before the last minute. Shipping often takes a couple of weeks. Also, we strongly suggest practicing/reviewing your sheet music with a pianist before your audition. Do not assume your song's CD/Radio version is the same as your sheet music. Hearing the sheet music version of a song for the first time during an audition will not allow you to perform at your best!!
