What's the general opinion on women who sing tenor in a choral setting? My range goes an octave below middle C, so I've been doing it all through high school, with equal success in competitions to when i sing alto. However, clinicians at some choir clinics I've been to have really frowned on my being a tenor. Is there any good reason why? (The one who gave me the hardest time was an older male, which made me wonder if it boils down to sexism or intimidation. :) Also, what on earth does one do with a voice so low? My voice goes high, too (G a 12th above middle C is my highest comfortable note), but nevertheless I feel like a bit of a freak of nature. I've never taken lessons, BTW. Just wondering, Tracey Jones ________________________________________________________________________
