The lowest note I have been able to hit is an F1, but only in the mornings when it gets deeper, but normally I can hit around a G1. 

Hi, Ryan.  Breathiness has a few sources, but all involve a combination indicating a mismatch between laryngeal muscle action and breath energy. Elaboration:  During the voice change (all voices, some more than others) the coordination used when younger no longer happens in the way it had been accessed by the younger singer.  The result is that the singer must learn a new coordination, and practice it until it becomes good habit.   In essence, the technique must be re-learned for the vocal reality. Key to this, IMO, is a clear vocal onset, in which the right amount of breath energy (exhalation) is supplied to match the laryngeal muscle action, with both beginning simultaneously, and with appropriate, matching levels of both. During the 6months of the voice change itself, this will be challenging to accomplish, so patience is recommended.  During this time, it is not an error to sing lightly, even if a bit breathy, until things settle down.  Be sure, though, that the singer's breath management is preventing air oversupply. Even a small amount of extra breath flow can upset the balance.  The best exercises I have seen to address the situation are mid-range, mid-volume onsets on all long and short vowels, and the use of sustained semi-occluded voiced consonants in one-octave sirens (ascending and descending), beginning in the lower part of the voice, and transposing upward.  Maintain tall and expanded posture during these exercises. I hope this is helpful.

Hello! I am a music student wondering how to pick repertoire for students. Each person has a different voice type so do we simply have to know of a plethora of repertoire? Especially, between soprano/alto and tenor/bass voices, I am curious. Thanks!

Hello,  I am a student who is studying vocal ped this semester. I have a question about how to choose the right repertoire and repertoire types (from musical, lied, aria, or pop music) for solo students vocal class of different ages.    For example, for a child who loves singing, is it too difficult to learn some aria works too early?   Another question is how to choose the right song for the children who are in the time period of their voice?

I have a student who is breathy at times and it almost sounds forced, how should I go about fixing that?

Hi! I have a question; how do you help students decide solo and ensemble repertoire that will challenge them but also won't be too complex? As a band primary, I am unsure of the process in repertoire choosing. What would be your first few steps? 

Hello! I am a music ed student with a few questions. How do the choices teachers make in selecting repertoire influence the growth of singers? What are the main factors to think about when choosing repertoire for vocal growth?
