Jolly is right and kind of backs up the point I am trying to make, there's nothing special about singing high other than it takes a greater amount of
coordination and skill to achieve (both of these things take a lot of practice and time).
It's what you stated in the latter of your sentence that makes high notes special to nearly everyone. If it weren't special, we'd all pitching our
songs straight under our middle voice section, all in straight chest.
