Subject: RE: Songleading Vs. Performing
Some one up above referred to pitching in a key most people can What are the keys that most people find within their range?

I have a low voice, and can almost never comfortably sing in the key(s) hymns are usually played in church. I usually find myself singing an octave below, and then that is just a little too low for comfort. When we were doing song circles, I also noticed that I mostly pitched songs too low for others to comfortably sing.

I may never be able to be much of a song leader for this reason. It also just occurs to me that one reason I much prefer 'sing arounds' to 'sing alongs' is for the same reason. I can't 'sing along in the keys most often used, and no one else can comfortably sing along with me.
