She'll get recognized for your spelling, if it rubs off on her.

There's more to it than a great voice. Get her some voice lessons that teach her how to read music. It's touchy with gradeschoolers because they change their minds so often, but if she's willing to stick with it and polish her natural talent, then she might have a chance. Find the singing oportunities that exist in your community first. "From a tiny acorn grows the mighty oak." That recognition that the people on "American Idol" and similar shows get was earned by years of practice from an early age. Maybe a solo now and then in the local school or place of worship is all you mean to reach for. Great. That is recognition and may not require so much sacrifice. I have a feeling your aspirations are higher.
Be careful, too much pride is a killer. It makes wannabees think they're too good to have to practice, and it sometimes blinds parents. My sister as a young poet once touted that she was better than Emily Dickinson. Her spirit was crushed when I told her she wasn't quite that good yet.

If she's really very good she should get some recognition, although it probably won't happen over night. If she's into the idea, have her take voice lessons and get her involved in the church or school chior. When she goes off to college she has a potential for some real recognition because she will have the chance to be instructed by those who have devoted their lives to music, and probably have some connections to some big names.

As a parent of a child attending a performing arts school, I have to ask the big question.... does your child want to be recognized or is it more your dream? Let your child develop her voice and career goals on her own. As she gets older she can work with a vocal coach, try out for a specialized school or music academy.
good luck!

Let her join in on choirs with her school or church. Often that will open doors for other venues for her singing while giving her some free training. That's what I did from the age of six, and as a teenager I began to sing professionally. Good luck to her and you both.

If you are really voracious, you can take her to auditions in LA/NYC, but honestly, I think the best life you can make for your daughter would just be to encourage her to join her school choir or take voice lessons if she's interested. If she wants to pursue something more when she's older, you can support her during that.

Well if your daughter is good...Put her in different talent shows make an CD and send them to various artists to have them listen to her. But only if she really wants to do it. Don't force her if she isn't ready.
