Members kevinlad Posted September 18, 2013 Members Share Posted September 18, 2013 I was told I am a bass long time ago. I could sing F2 and sometimes E2. Thehighest note I can reach within my chest voice is middle C. Above that I have touse head voice or falsetto. My singing teacher said I should not choose songswith high notes, but there are many songs I would like to sing with that kind ofrange. My question is, as a beginner singer, is that something I could learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Masklin Posted September 18, 2013 Members Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yes, but you won't sound like a tenor. Similar, if you're good and practice tons, but not quite like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kevinlad Posted September 18, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thanks! But how should I practise as you mentioned to get there? Sorry I'm only starting to learn singing and haven't got much ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jes Johnson Posted September 19, 2013 Members Share Posted September 19, 2013 Yes, it's certainly possible to increase your range to that level. But to be honest, I'd consider finding a different teacher. A good teacher ought to help you grow your voice instead of just saying, "Don't sing those songs."

Moderators davie Posted September 19, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2013 Those notes most likely point towards a bass fach, especially if the timbre is there too. If we're dealing with pop music, you can probably train yourself to handle the higher range. Like what Masklin said, you just have to develop your falsetto/head voice. Classical music on the other hand might be a lot tougher to take on a higher tessitura. What type of music are you interested in singing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
