denis,
either i did not explain myself well enough or, you have misunderstood
me. i'm sure you will agree that there is more than one type of music that
can be sung succesfully in a healthy manner. and there are many
classically trained teachers who would agree. however, there is a large
faction of classical teachers who think that the classical approach is the
only way. included in this group are those who think every metal singer who
can sing high, is a tenor. if 'bluesinger's' teacher is one of them, and
he/she has already labeled him a baritone, it is unlikely that this
particular teacher is open to the possibility of him singing how and what he
wants to. i did mean to imply that, if this is the case, he should look
elsewhere for a teacher who does have an interest in seeing if it is possible
for him to do what he wants. someone like seth riggs is far more likely to
be open to all this fellow's possibilities than a teacher with a very narrow
idea of what a singer is capable of.
