Judy's exact vocal range has not been determined--as she could not read music, most likely the only one who knew for sure was Roger Edens, the man who coached and arranged music for her at MGM. As a longtime Garland fan who is very familiar with her voice, and also as a musician myself, my educated guess would be that Judy's vocal range was about 3 octaves, maybe slightly under. She hits very nice high notes in such recordings as "If I Forget You" and "Curse Of An Aching Heart," and could also go quite low, as evidenced in "Ol' Man River" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." I hope that answers your question!


I have a tuner and her vocal range is about E3-C5


According to Henry Pleasants, the foremost popular vocal critic of Judy Garland's era, she could sing from the contralto F or E, up to a C or D, which is to say one octave and and 5 or so notes. Her highest note in "If I forget you" is a C5, the tenor C.

A3 to E5 in full voice at age 70, although the lower range could be lower. I'm unaware of the lowest note used in her 2009 album, but she did state that many of the songs were in a lower register than previous tracks.

4 octaves 1 note if you include her belts when she's live. When you just count only her studio recordings it's about 2.9

Judy Garland had many talents. She could act, sing and dance and was also a great comedienne.
