I notice in "Over the Rainbow" the first two notes are a whole octave apart. And only one other place in the song - on the word "find" (...where you'll find me) is a note higher than that higher octave note.

I'm wondering is it generally okay to write notes in a song beyond an octave or is that hard for singers? What's a good range for a singer to have?
