The vocal ranges of the songs chosen from the song repository which was requested from the teachers in interview form were identified and compared with the average song voice ranges of students. The obtained results were tabulated and structured. According to the findings, it is determined that the students showed a low level of success against the songs whose tones/modes had been taken from sources.
