I was wondering what the highest notes were that people could reach. I am a 15 year old girl and I can reach an A that has one ledger line above the stave.

I'm 14 and my absolute highest note is an F above the staff (is it stave of staff- i never know)- but one magical day i reached the G above that one- about one octave above you shimmer
lowest?

A above the staff, comfortably, at the moment.
B just about but a bit pathetic, and C on a good day with a following wind but similarly pathetic.
However one day I'll get singing lessons and then who knows

D on two ledger lines so far, but that was on my second lesson. Before my first lesson I'd never sung higher than a squeaky A above the stave.

C, but I'm not sure I'd risk it in a performance yet! (Mind you the only performances I do are the Forum Users concerts, so I'm sure you'd all be very forgiving!)

E top space

Depends
Highest recorded - F on three ledger lines.
Highest consistently there - Eb just below it. E most of the time, but not 100%, and the F is intermittent.

C two octaves above middle C is comfortable, but I have been known to hit the F above that before now.

I can reach the third octave (three ledger lines) F#, not that it sounds very nice. I can sing quite comfortably to a C/C# (two ledger lines).

are we going by highest performed not or highest note you have ever hit?
because the highest note i have ever performed is a D (two ledges up)

If we're going by highest note ever performed that would be a C (two ledges up) in my case.

i can sing to a c above the stage but only two people have ever heard me do it! The highest most people have heard me go is to the G below that.

Comfortably, G above the stave- G# when I want to. Have reached a top Bb before but it didn't sound great. In a choir I can confidently reach a B above the stave but it depends on what voice I'm in.
All you who can reach top F and F#- Go you!!!!!

I've performed an A but can do up to Bb/B in warm ups. Not bad for a mezzo I think! It has to be in my classical voice however, no way would I be mucking about in the gods with my jazz voice!

For a mezzo, my voice lies quite high (which is probably why I thought I was a soprano for years!) - I can get Bb comfortably and a C if necessary - which as a mezzo, luckily doesn't happen too often!

I have a pretty large range, although it doesn't extend as high as some wondrous people. My normal range is from an A (two ledger lines under the staff) to a B flat, two octaves above middle C (which fell in between A and B, so I just voted A). Which annoys all my directors, because they have trouble placing me.

C above the stave cosistently however when i don't know and my teacher has been pushing me up octaves have sung a top G as in above the stave! it's mad!

Strange... I'd think the graph should show two peaks, but it doesn't really !

The highest note I can hit on a consistent basis is C# two octaves above middle C.

Highest consistent note? F# or G three lines above the stave. I have up to an intermittent A (but only when I've ironed out all the tension I'm still battling) and a Bb once after I'd had laryngitis and hadn't spoken for a week. I only go this high in cuperto exercises with my singing teacher (only really safe way of doing it for me at the moment) so it's not as if I'm popping out G#s on a regular basis.
My lower and middle ranges are the ones that suck. I'm more comfortable in my coloratura register than anywhere else in my voice.
Highest note performed? Goodness knows. Nothing particularly high - my previous teacher (before I switched...I haven't performed since I moved to my new teacher and started rebuilding vocally) decided I was a mezzo and taught me to do very little else but belt. Ahahaha.

Woah that IS high! Just as well you managed to find a good teacher to get rid of all the previous bad habits (well done you for sticking to it)
