Vicki here (grinning in agreement),

On the flip side, lately I've been gaining more and more facility with
my top notes. Every time I hit a high b or c particularly well, my
teacher makes a mock horrified face and says "Watch out! You might
turn into a soprano!" Then I smile and assure him that I'm just
singing on the other side of the hyphen...one of my favorite lines
(thank you, Chris!)
