Maybe, maybe not. In theory any voice type can teach any other one. But
my first voice teacher (a woman) classified me as a low bass (even though
I could sing high Cs) and had me singing things like Sarastro's arias a
third lower than written. She nearly destroyed myt voice completely, and
I didn't have a choice of teachers.
