Rationale: Music educators will take greater interest in the Society's conferences and other activities if a portion of the program is directed to their needs and interests.
Music educators will benefit from direct contact with the Society's members who are scholars, performers, librarians, etc., and might receive recertification credit for approved workshops.

 Urban Legends Reference Pages: Music (Range Rover)
An impoverished teen with a seven-octave vocal range when Mottola discovered her 10 years ago (they were married in June 1993), Carey, 28, is now the reigning Queen of Pop.
Early in Mariah Carey's career, her publicists let loose with the information that the young singer possessed an astounding seven-octave vocal range, and this "fact" continues to be quoted by the media in pieces about her, even though it's nothing short of ridiculous.
A four-octave range is remarkable, and a five-octave range (claimed of legendary Peruvian soprano Yma Sumac and pop star Whitney Houston, for example) is extraordinary.

 Amazon.com: Out of Range: Music: Ani DiFranco   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Out of Range marks the end of the first phase of Ani DiFranco's career, not so much in terms of the way she goes about her business (as always, on her own terms) but in terms of her songwriting, arranging, performing, and, to a greater extent than ever before, growing popularity.
The music is pure delight, with sparse acoustic guitar accompaniment dominating many of the songs -- she sometimes resorts to gently plucking the notes of the same chord repeatedly, but deftly avoids becoming monotonous and dull-sounding when she does this.
You may consider Ani DiFranco's voice on Out of Range to be either exquisite or quirky (depending on your personal taste in vocals) but it is, undeniably, a fascinating mixture of mature sound and childlike sound; she absolutely avoids the annoying childlike-sound of some recent female pop singers.

 Vocal range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Males which possess high ranges are referred to as countertenors and possess ranges equivalent to those of the three female ranges, alto, mezzo-soprano and soprano (a male soprano is specifically referred to as sopranist and many times has a range far higher that of a female soprano).
The most notable example of this would be castrato singers, although modern examples include the lowering of the voice through Tobacco smoking.
