I love how we are doing some late-night fresh topic posting, Kat.
Well now, since you ask, I have 3 bands and a choir!
My a cappella group, Chicapella (https://soundcloud.com/chicapella)
My acoustic duo with Sean (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL-wlME3w4s)
My big band, Up The Function (10-piece funk/soul band, no media as of yet. Will post when you’re itching for more…)
Vocal Harmony Choir (https://www.facebook.com/Vocal-Harmony-Bristol-833872946691622/)Oh, and just me: https://soundcloud.com/elizafyfe
God that was so spammy!
What about you?

Might be worth her going to the doctors in that case. Otherwise, trying steaming?
Your Song is a great option, I use Ellie Goulding’s version for beginner singers who are a little quieter/shyer and there’s only really one high bit… give it a go, definitely rather than eliminating the high range completely. It may just take practice, but in small doses, which that song is perfect for! Good luck:)

Yes, good ideas there.
I can’t believe I have to tell my students (who are mainly adults!) to practice WITHOUT the original vocal?! And also practice in chunks and only move on when you’re confident.. I had a girl come to me saying “yep, completely fine with Warwick Avenue – if anything, it’s probably too easy for me.” So I said, “great, let’s hear it!” and stuck on a backing track. She couldn’t follow the melody AT ALL.

On point Kat

Unless you’re talking mixed voice? I would still get a confident head voice first, before blending. If she can hold a good strong head voice, she should be ok with the “gear change” rather than straining.
