Who can learn to sing better?

Some of the types of singers who can
learn to sing better.

• The 'older' singers who are fearful that their singing days are numbered;
   
• The basses who can't seem to sing below forte;
   
• The first sopranos who sound like little girls - all breathy and fluty;
   
• The adults who as children were told to stand at the back and mime because their voices were too low to reach the high-pitched nursery rhymes, leading them to believe they were tone deaf;
   
• The sopranos whose voices disappear entirely around middle c;
   
• The almost inaudible choral singers who contribute almost nothing to the collective volume, yet show up faithfully to every rehearsal;
   
• The demoralised second sopranos who, despite not having the high notes, sing soprano because their musical ear is always drawn to the top line;
   
• Singers who fancy trying different musical idioms such as lieder, art song, music theatre, gospel, jazz standards, opera etc;
   
• The 'altos' whose voices appear to have a glass ceiling on 'D'!;
   
• The self-conscious shy types who would die rather than sing a single note on their own in public;
   
• The choral conductor/choir trainer who has huge influence over his/her choir's vocal habits but doesn't know much about good vocal practice;
   
• The altos/baritones who are really sopranos/tenors without access to their top register;
   
• The closet soloists who really could, but wouldn't dare!;
