God knew I would be too powerful as a tenor or a belt soprano so he made me an alto
Why are there no alto musical theater roles 😭😭

For the wonderful transmascs in theater, I bring you, audition songs that would fit a higher voice range (Soprano-1st Tenor) but are still good for masculine roles

Hullo musician friends!! Id love some insight! I’m writing up some “tips and tricks” sheets for some of my tutoring students and the current one I’m working on is for sight-reading. 
Other than just practicing sight-reading I’ve tried explaining that what helps me is thinking about an order of importance when you are handed a piece of music and told “play now” because my brain tends to overcomplicate things. For example I make sure to check the key/time signature and the end (D.S/D.C/tag/rit/etc) then my order of importance (TO ME) is the rhythm, the actual notes (minus accidentals (again this is just me but I have to simplify my brain down to “just read the dots” sometimes)), expression marks, dynamics, then everything else if I can think of it. 
BUT I don’t wanna be sharing this with students if it’s a skewed idea of what the majority would rank. 
I know I wanna keep rhythm first because I think it shows a lot of promise if you can hit the rhythms on a first play through. But if anyone has any insight into how you would order the importance of other performance aspects while sight reading (eg. pitch, dynamics, expression marks(articulation/ornamentation/etc), musicality, phrasing, even breath support or tone and shit). Im a brass player but if any non mouth instrument players have rankings like bowing or use of the pedal that would be good to know too. Thanks lads!

Things that happen because I forget I’m musically gifted
Oh shit I’m doing this all wrong aren’t I? “Wow you’re really strong at this! One of the best in the choir!” WHAT
Maybe one day I’ll get placed without getting asked where I want to go 🤡🤡🤡 (I’ve got both an alto and soprano range. Directors can never decide.)
“now here’s a challenging warm up for all of you.” I’m confused how is this challenging.
Oh this part is easy so- WHY ARE WE STOPPING AND GOING OVER IT ITS EASY

Girlies my choir director is considering moving me from alto 2 to soprano because I can hit a B flat
I
I don't want to go to sopranoland. Sopranoland is scary. I've been there one too many times.
And after all the work I did in middle school to switch to alto :(

Each of the marauders characters as a choir member:
James: He’s definitely a bass, and also definitely messes around on the risers. everyone loves him but he contributes to the director’s passive aggressive shushing
Sirius: tenor, and purposefully moves to stand next to the bass section to muck around with James and harass Remus. Always gets solos
Remus: Bass, could have solos but refuses to try out. Joined because Lily asked him to, but ended up loving it
Peter: tenor, gets angry when people stand in front of him and block his view, cannot solfège anything to save his life
Lily: soprano, her and Remus make faces at each other across the stage, annoyed by James and Sirius but also thinks they’re funny, is the reason everyone else joined
Marlene: alto, tries to get Lily and Mary’s attention from across the room, whines about the songs when they don’t have movement
Mary: soprano, adores choreography, a favorite but very humble about this, knows she’s good, sings all the high notes but has RANGE, soloist with Sirius
Dorcas: alto, hates choreo on the risers, once had to dance with Marlene and decided it wasn’t so bad, has an amazing lower register

Finished my A Capella auditions, it actually went pretty good!! I didn’t mess up the part I kept messing up on (screw you “Dancing in your Levi’s / drunk under a streetlight” why do you have to sound so similar to “heartbeat on a high line / once in twenty lifetimes”)

No one is gonna get this unless you were gay and in choir but why was it when there wouldn’t be enough tenor men so they took the lowest altos and made them tenors that every one of those female tenors got hit with the gay beam. Like I’ve never met female tenor that wasn’t lgbt+. Like that does something to every alto without fail the moment they get assigned to tenor instead. My biggest gay crush was on a girl in the tenor section because she was the most openly queer person in choir and so androgynously pretty. I was almost a female tenor but I couldn’t hold my low notes long enough.
