Being aware of the limited ranges of JHlMS voices, especially boys, the auditi,xi;:;r
will be allowed to change the key of any exercise to suit the particular student The
girls, for instance, may find that C and D Major are alittle low, while some
Baritones would sing more comfortably in B Flat rather than C or D Major. Sorne
ofthe young boys will sing the Treble exercises comfortably, while others w\u jjr.d
these too high and the Changing Voice keys too low. Please change the keys cll
accommodate the student!
