Since its introduction three years ago, the entertainment show Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars has recorded great success, so much so that it has become an annual event.

The show, which brings to the fore the natural singing talents hidden in children, is an initiative of  Bennet Accouche, an experienced music teacher at the School of Music.

This year’s edition of the show is expected to take place at the International Conference Centre (ICCS) in June.

Audition for participants who wish to take part has already started and according to Mr Accouche, every year 15 little stars are chosen among some 90 children.

Stating that it is a difficult task to choose the 15 best participants, Mr Accouche has said that this year’s audition is going to be tough and he is going to be very strict in selecting the 15 little stars who will appear in the show in June.

Mr Accouche pointed out that children selected should be enthusiastic, confident to perform in front of a crowd, and outgoing.

The rehearsals to choose the final 15 best participants take place every weekday at the School of Music, Mont Fleuri. During the rehearsals, the children receive coaching on improving their voice, sound pitch and melody.

The show in June, which will last two hours, will include performances by the Children’s Choir from the School of Music as well as performances by other artists. But Mr Accouche has said that this year’s show will be shorter in duration, meaning fewer performances by other local artists.

Compared to previous years, the little stars will this year be encouraged to interpret songs with moral values, Mr Accouche said.

Meanwhile, parents who have children aged between 4 and 9 years old who have a good voice, are outspoken and willing to perform in public can contact Mr Bennet Accouche on 714519 for audition.
