I found this chapter really exciting actually, and the first page discussing types of registers reminded me of my super-soprano sister, Dacey—she can sing higher than literally anyone else I know! She’s amazing! It was interesting to thinkn of registers as two different modes, which puzzled me a little. I usually just think of the different registers, in which different sets of pitches reside. When Rosalind Hall, former director of the BYU Men’s Chorus, came to UMEA to talk about men’s voices, she said that men have three different registers: the chest voice, the mixed/head voice (whichever it was), and the falsetto range. I thought the book did a great job at nailing the same points, but it just sounded a little bit different from how I thought about it. I don’t know; perhaps we’ll talk about it tomorrow.
