An interesting problem

[figmo]

It's interesting from a scientific point, anyway.

From my POV, it means I really have to get cracking on finishing up those vocal harmony arrangements for my CD.

The reason? My alto is going to become a baritone soon.

Specifically, Dr. Jane Ann Robinson told me today she plans to become Dr. James Daniel Robinson.

We joked that if things take a while, she could cut all the alto tracks, then after her voice changes, she could cut baritone tracks. (Actually, she thinks she'll be a tenor like her father, but I think she'll be a baritone.)

Actually (and I'm sorry I didn't see this before!) the voice teacher at my last school said that sopranos are more likely to become baris/basses and altos to become tenors, both for males and FTMs. She's been a voice teacher for years and that's been her experience - the vocal change is inversely proportional.

I was a mezzo-soprano; now I'm a baritone. That seems to bear out her theory.
