It sometimes seems to me that worship leaders "ambush" the congregation by using unsingable ranges, or by changing the expected rhythms, or by switching the melody. It sends a message, "Your singing is not needed. Just listen to us real musicians."

And if you want your children to sing, range becomes even more important! (If it lingers much below middle C, they physically can't participate.) And if we don't intentionally teach our children to sing, and invite them to participate in corporate worship, they won't (be able to) do it as adults.
