What's the general opinion on women who sing tenor in a choral setting? My
range goes an octave below middle C, so I've been doing it all through high
school, with equal success in competitions to when i sing alto. However,
clinicians at some choir clinics I've been to have really frowned on my
being a tenor. Is there any good reason why? (The one who gave me the
hardest time was an older male, which made me wonder if it boils down to
sexism or intimidation. :)
Also, what on earth does one do with a voice so low? My voice goes high, too
(G a 12th above middle C is my highest comfortable note), but nevertheless I
feel like a bit of a freak of nature. I've never taken lessons, BTW.
Just wondering,
Tracey Jones
