For musical theatre, try The Teens Musical Theatre Collection published by Hal
Leonard. There's also a kids broadway collection but I'm not sure of the title
or the publisher. There is the great collection from the Royal Conservatory of
Music called the Songbook Series containing seven volumes of progressive
repertoire plus separate volumes of recits and vocalizes for the upper levels,
published by Frederick Harris and available from T.I.S. in the USA (the RCM
syllabus is an excellent source of mostly "classical" graded repertoire).
