But what if your passagios change? 3 years ago I had a definite break at
the E5. Now it is around the G5. The difference? A new teacher who
believes that if you can vocalise a note with a decent sound and in the
center of the pitch, then you can sing it. Learning to modify vowels and
understanding breath support and release of throat and jaw tension have
opened up my range in a huge way.
