What key should an alto sing the National Anthem in?

Question

Bottom ALTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can only sing up to the C above middle C and can go pretty low for a 15 year old girl. Professional help wanted.

Answer 1

Well the average key for the national anthem is B flat- which gets up to a high F or the key of A flat- which gets up to a high E flat. If you want your highest note to be C, then you'll need to sing it in the Key of F.

The way you would start this is to start on middle C, (Oh) down to A (-Oh) to the low F (say). -That F will be pretty low, but if you want your high note to be C above middle C, that's what it will take.

By the way, the Key of F has one flat (B flat) all other notes are natural.

Answer 2

sounds to me like you need to see a voice teacher. Work your range out and learn how to use your upper range.
The National Anthem is ment to be sung along with when performed and should always be sung near the key E flat so as to comfortable for most people there.

Answer 3

Try it in the key of A, or A minor. See if that fits your vocal range. Best of luck to you.
