Tenor Privilege

1. The tendency of most music, especially that of musical theater, to be written exclusively for or favoring tenors, thus discriminating against those who have lower ranges.
2. The tendency of tenors to inform baritones and bases that they have a superior vocal range as often as they are given the opportunity.
Tenor Privilege:
A tenor: I love these high notes! They're so easy for me! I'm glad all this music is this high!

Me, a struggling baritone: Check your privilege.
