[musictlk] choir

[Chris Nusbaum]

I would do a range check before joining the choir to make sure nothing has changed. You could either ask the director to check your range or check it on your own using a piano or keyboard. If you need help with this, please write me off-list and I can give you more details. Another best practice I have found helpful is to ask the director about his/her expected range for each voice part. For example, he/she may expect an Alto 1 to get up to a 5th octave C. If this is too high for your range, you may be better off as an Alto 2. Hope this helps.

I am pretty sure I am an alto since that's what I sang in college choir.  However, do you think I should ask the director to check my range to make sure or should I stick with what I think I sing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
