@operazanotaijin tenor is the hardest part in any choir. we can go as low as a bass or as high as a soprano. i respect basses but tenor is the hardest part

[operazanotaijin]

Bass power! I declare war on all tenors everywhere!

@operazanotaijin I'm a high baritone who is made to sing Tenor in choir. Where do I stand in this war? :P

If I remember correctly, the full ranges for each part are: Soprano - A-flat below middle C to second C above middle C; Alto - E below middle C to second E above middle C; Tenor - Second A-flat below middle C to C above middle C; Bass - Second C below middle C to F above middle C. Of course some go outisde of those ranges, but their singing part is determined by which they're closest to and where their strength lies. For example, some with a soprano range have more power in the alto range.

@LaLinMangaFreak That's still really good. Some tenors actually struggle with the C below middle C. Your range still might expand enough to include that. In high school I was a true tenor, lowest solid note I could hit was A-flat below middle C, highest was the second D above, but now I'm on the tenor/baritone cusp (but would sing tenor in choir), lowest note before going into vocal fry (bugzapper voice) would be the second F-sharp below middle C, but I can still hit the second C-sharp above.

@MVillani1985 Thank You! But no, i can't sing the second A-flat below middle C, BUT sing the C an octave below middle C, and B when i'm really warmed up, so I can go lower than all of the other altos in school (i'm 17 a senior in HS). so i ALMOST have full tenor range, i wish i did tho!

[MVillani1985]

@LaLinMangaFreak Impressive! Can you sing the full tenor range (clear as a bell down to the second A-flat below Middle C)? If so, you'd be the first girl I'd heard of that could sing the full tenor range, which is rare. Usually when contraltos try to sing the tenor part, they struggle below the E below Middle C.
