So I've been taking a voice class at the college and being the dufus I am I accidentally signed up for an advanced voice class....as my FIRST lessons. Luckily, I have natural talent and am really good looking so, no suprise that I was allowed to continue on.
My instructor is awesome! She's this little Asian lady with the most powerful voice you've ever heard. When we started, I insisted I was a Mezzo-Soprano (Which is people that sing in lower ranges for the common man). She insisted I was a Soprano (High range singers). Since she plays the piano while I sing, I had no choice but to sing in the key she plays for me, so....I guess I'm a Soprano. I was talking to the band teacher and he said that all voice teachers want their students to be Sopranos.
I thought that I would sing some pop songs, maybe a jazz number or two, and next thing you know I'm learning songs in Italian and French and singing like an Opera singer! Apparently, that's what voice majors believe real music is. It's very different but she has taught me a lot and I am LOVING it! My kids either plug their ears or sing along in their best dog howling voices, depending on their moods :)
