Hello everyone,
This is my first post, but I've been lurking and going through the archives for several weeks. What a great list this is!
Anyway, I'm a community college student in the Southwest USA, and I just started taking voice lessons through the college about a month after the current semester started. I had never taken voice lessons before. After only two lessons (I've only had three so far), my teacher was saying that I'm a mezzo-soprano. Well, I haven't told him, but I was somewhat disappointed, because I guess I've always hoped that I was a soprano. My question is this: What is normally the comfortable range of a soprano prior to having vocal instruction? Also, is it possible for a teacher to really be able to classify a voice right away?
Thanks, C.
