Hi Elizabeth,
Do you know what keys work best for your voice? "The girl keys" still leaves it wide open... Lots of female singers can sing in every key (or most).
Not everybody can sing decently in every key, and a lot of artists tend to stay with the keys that suit them best, not straying too often. Your vocal coach can help you find which keys work best for you.
I have the Ronnie Shellist backing tracks; great for harmonica and could be used for singing as well.
Bill

Minimal harp content, except that I want to make mo' betta singin'
music along with my harp playin'.
I want to add vocals to my harp playing. Eventually I hope to
play/sing in a variety of styles, but my playing right now is blues, at
my local open jam.
I'm taking voice lessons from a jazz voice teacher (because I couldn't
find a blues voice teacher). She started me off with some jazz backing
tracks from the Hal Leonard series, but what we really want are some
blues backing tracks -- in, I believe the phrase is, "girl keys".
I've done some initial digging on the Hal Leonard site, Jamey
Aebersold, and Music Minus One, without finding an obvious blues
version of the many jazz standard sing-along books and discs. Can
anyone on this list suggest a volume that might be suitable?
Thanks in advance.
Elizabeth (aka "Tin Lizzie")
