Subject:  Re: [vocalist-temporary] more on the pill


This topic is kinda related. I send it because some of you female
vocalisters may encounter a similar situation in the future :). After
menopause I did no hormonal adjustments (pills of any sort), for
medical/personal reasons. This is what happened. My range lowered about a
fourth, over the course of about a year, while I retained the higher part of
the range. Then, after approximately a year and a half more, the higher
notes started to go. At this point, some days I have lost a fourth on the
top of the range, but on other days, I have only lost about a major second
or minor third. My new teacher, who seems very helpful, tells me to go ahead
and keep vocalising up...maybe I can retain some of the pitches that are
threatening to leave me! Ya never know!!
