>>For the teachers out there: how long does it generally take before a
singer's fach can be determined? Given that they have good teaching
guidance and direction, of course. And about what percentage of students
"fach up" (or down) at some point in their development? Is it usually a
result of physical maturation? Or technique mastery?
If I could only leave one message for singers before I die, I think it would
be this: ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL! Every singer is unique. Every voice
develops and matures at a different pace. No one can say how soon/late you
will settle into your Fach. Besides, the voice changes daily, so who says
you WILL settle? Just hang in there and be the best darn singer you can be!
