What notes should a baritone sing?
What notes should a baritone sing?
In between the bass and the tenor is a classical voice type that is called “baritone.” Baritone literally means “heavy sounding.” The notes of this vocal range usually start at the second F just under the Middle C up to the F right above the middle C in a choir.
Can baritones falsetto?
Baritones have to use the falsetto (Bb3 to Bb4), because their full educated voice would be far to loud and to raw. Their falsetto sounds much warmer than the tiny falsetto of some tenor voices because their vocal folds have passive vibrations.
Is A4 high for males?
A4 is not an easy note for male singers. It is right above the usual male break of about F4-G4, and if you are a baritone, it will be even harder (although highly possible through a decent amount of training) since unlike tenors it is most likely located right at the top of your chest register.
Is C 5 a high note?
A high note for a tenor is about C5. Most basses and altos don’t sing anything that is considered a “high note.” You have your notes out of order — C5 is higher than E3. Middle C is C4, the C below is C3, the C above (aka treble C) is C5.
Can a baritone sing Tenor?
As a baritone, you CAN sing in the Tenor range The beauty of being a baritone is that you actually have MUCH more range and tonal control at your disposal than higher voice types – meaning you CAN learn to sing in the Tenor range, however, it takes a very DIFFERENT approach to the way a natural tenor would sing.

Can baritones become Tenors?
It is definitely possible for baritones to become tenors. Many men past puberty typically start as a baritone singer based on their tessitura (comfortable singing range). As they practice and continue training, baritone singers learn how to sing high notes that classify them as a tenor.
Can baritones sing C5?
If you can hit the C one octave above middle C (“C5”) without using falsetto you’re probably not a baritone. A more realistic, legit, useable top end for a baritone is G4 or maybe A4, which doesn’t seem to be called for much.
Can you sing higher than the baritone’s top D-F?
In my case… I couldn’t sing higher than the baritone’s top D#-F consistently without cracking. That was in the 90’s. That’s strange for me to recall because now I’m able to sing almost an octave higher than that (I now top at tenor high C and cross to mixed voice on C# when belting)… but back then I couldn’t do any of this.
What is a baritone voice?
In vocal music, baritone refers to the medium-range voice category in adult males or to a singer who possesses that voice. The term comes from a Greek word meaning ‘deep voice,’ and that’s just what a baritone has.
Why don’t baritones sing tenor and bass in choral music?
The answer is that choral music doesn’t use the terms ‘tenor’ and ‘bass’ the same way that vocal soloists do. In choral music, ‘bass’ just means the lower male part, and ‘tenor’ means the higher one. Since most baritones don’t have vocal ranges high enough to sing tenor parts, they generally sing bass in choirs.
What is the average range of a baritone?
The keyboard in Fig. 1 illustrates the average range of a baritone: about an octave and a half, from low G to E above middle C. For comparison, this keyboard illustrates an average tenor range: from D below middle C to A above middle C. And here’s a keyboard illustrating the lowest male voice, the bass: a range from low D to D above middle C.
