[musictlk] update on high notes

[Mary Donahue]

Hello Josh and everyone,

	I just joined this thread, and I do not think that is a helpful
suggestion. When I was a first alto, there were some high notes written in
scores. All I can say is, Chelsea, is try and stand up straight and keep
your mouth open as much as possible. I think I know what you're going
through, having been an alto, and now a second soprano. I think I like
second soprano better. Just my thoughts.

Mary Donahue

You shouldn't be singing high notes when you're an alto!
