>Hi George,
>>
>>I do know why the director is trying to make you into a tenor, however. 'Cause good tenors are hard to find. Basses OTOH are a dime a dozen.

>'Tis true. Our choir only has 3 male tenors and 6 women tenors. Our bass section has about 10. My range has been climbing (and since I don't use the lower register as much that's suffering), but I still am not comfortable above E above middle C. (Unless fortissimo(sp?) <g>) Head-voice is weak, for now...

I can get up to a G (above), but I don't push it. Anytime a piece hangs around F below middle C, it's right in my break. My least favorite piece is a Christmas carol titled, "The Linden Tree Carol". The bass (in the score it's listed as baritone) hangs around F above middle C. I think it's a cruel joke.< s >

>> A word of warning. If the director mentions anything regarding your anatomy and piano wire...HEAD FOR THE HILLS.:-)

>OUCH!!

Yep!
