Sopranos to Tenors; Altos to Basses

This blog is basically only for women who sing. So if you are neither of these demographics, you may not understand the entirety of this blog and be confused, so you are excused from reading this blog.

Okay Ladies! We all know that when we walk into our choir classes, we are immediately attracted to one part that the guys sing. Whether you are a tenor lover, or a bass enthusiast, here is where we can talk. 

The part that I love most is hands down the bass section. Why? Well I'll explain later... but before I fell in love with the bass section, I hate to admit that I did indeed love tenors.

Tenors are attractive like sopranos are attractive. When they hit the big high notes at the end of songs, it is impressive. Along with that, the tenors are almost always the stereotypical skinny attractive and handsome male. Tenors tend to be more confident as well. When a boy finds out that his range is good enough to sing tenor, they feel more confident. Not many boys get to sing tenor, its harder on the vocal chords and harder to be a true tenor. That might be part of why everyone freaks out about tenors. I believe that all sopranos are attracted to tenors more so then basses. How do I know this? Personal experience. I did at one point in my life sing soprano, and thats when I loved tenors. I felt like we really connected because we both were the higher end parts in the pieces we sang. Shortly after switching to an alto, I realized how much I believed that the bass section holds the choir together.

BASSES. So attractive! Why? They are the basis... they hold the choir together. Also, I believe that the "sopranos only are attracted to tenors" effect is true to the altos and basses. I think girls that sing alto, like to hear the richness that we give to the choir and the depth that we give as well. So Basses and Altos automatically connect at that level. We as altos also love to sing as low as we can. When a soprano freaks out about singing a high B flat, you have to understand the altos are the same way when we see a low G or F. So, when basses hit low notes at the end of pieces... it give all of us altos chills. Plus altos believe that basses are more manly. 

In conclusion, Sopranos: you can keep your tenors. Altos: Have at the basses! 

Stick to the status quo... Like High School Musical taught you. 

Case Closed.

Love,
