I matched her on the piano hitting a C7. If she can sing down to a C3 on
the low end, which she likely can, that would give her four full octaves -
an unusually large range and certainly plenty for anyone, considering a full
three octaves is quite a good range and most singers have about 2 or 21/2
octaves - (not counting growls and screeches, I mean workable, usable
range). Perhaps her range is a few notes more in one direction or the
other, but I'd wager she's got about four octaves give or take a few notes.
For more on ranges, consult the archives, since this was discussed at length
a few weeks ago and many listers provided their own range for discussion's
sake.

Best,
Jessica
