Sorry, but this is just WAY too low for lots of people to sing comfortably,
and incredibly inappropriate, not to mention damaging for young voices.  I
stretch the point by going to A for the SSB.   However, on the plus side, in
A, or even A-flat, there are only 4 notes that range below middle C, which
is the recommended bottom note for young singers. (Recommended by music
educators as indicated by the research in this field.)
