[musictlk] choir

[Jordan Gallacher]

I recommend singing whatever range is the most comfortable for you.  For
example, I have the range to sing tenor or bass, but I generally stay right
in the middle of the two.

Good Morning,

I concur with Chris on this.  If possible, have the director or his/her
assistant (if there is one) do a check of your range.  The tip about asking
what is the expected note range for each part is a good one.  In my church
choir, altos frequently sing notes that may be considered appropriate for a
2nd soprano part.  Good luck.

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.

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.
