Hi: I have a question for the learned pedagogues on the list (especially those who work with kids). I have been given conflicting advice regarding boys with changing voices. One colleague told me that they should not, under any circumstances, sing at all until the voice has completely changed which is what I have always believed from my reading and studies. Another, however, tells me of a boy whose voice changed so slightly and slowly without the usual cracking etc. that he maintained his lessons almost completely through this period and is now a lovely tenor. What are your thoughts on this controversial subject? Jacqueline (who has a boy student who will soon be at a voice change stage...he's 14 and still a treble singer). www.tbmall.com/slightlyoffbroadway (gifts/costumes/classes & more) Read my articles at: www.suite101.com/welcome.cfm/musical_theatre) Have fun at: www.geocities.com/sloffbrdway "There's no business like show business"
