When I was in seventh grade I had to take choir in school. I didn't particularly like singing but if I had to sing in choir I wanted to sing Alto. I loved the deep, soft folds that Alto voices added to a piece of music and I wanted to be part of that. No, no, said the teacher, we already have plenty of Altos. I need you to sing Soprano. So I did, but I wasn't good and I didn't enjoy it.
Finding my own voice now means finding a comfortable range that produces a lovely harmony. Even if there are already plenty of Altos.
p.s. For those who asked, the lake in the banner is located along the Austrian border with Germany, deep in the Alps. And yes, I once lived very near there. {sigh}
Hello - thanks for visiting me and leaving a comment - so i could find you! I like what you are showing, and look forward to seeing more. i particularly like your analogy with finding your own voice - even if there are plenty of other Altos. that struck a chord with me (no pun intended!)
