HOLY CARP!!!

Hmmm....the tenor voice prof at my school sure holds true to those two, and the World-revolves-around-me thing. I really dislike his personality. A friend of mine also has that attitude, and he's only a tenor in the choir! He is a trumpet major, though, so maybe that has something to do with his super-inflated musical ego :rolleyes: I never thought of that. A trumpet major AND a tenor. WOW. |

I am a humble tenor in my church choir. I am happy to support the Soprano and Alto parts and am glad they usually have to begin before we do. I also like it when the men sing in unison - helps me learn the music that much faster. |

hmm...yes.. I have been switched from sop to alto many times in our choir. I asked our director, and he said that he basically needs a better alto section. They do tend to be on the sucky side... |
| And how are you today? | |

As a tenor, I am deeply offended by the characterization of tenors as self-centered. I am not self-centered, I don't care what anyone says, and I should know!

I have my own tenor toooooooo. OT...isn't it funny, the tenor and sop jokes are all the same. All about empty space for resonance, vanity and loose morals. I guess I can understand how that has happened. (chuckle) |

same here.... sop to alto Altos needed a boost. Sometimes being able to sight read is a curse. |

![]() However.... Sops have a different light bulb joke: Q: How many sopranos does it take to change a light bulb? A: Two. One stands on a ladder, and the other stands next to her and asks, "Excuse me, dear, isn't that a little high for you?"
