I dont think it makes much difference...some times you will get the only benefit of Scale....otherwise the teacher has to shift into your Scale to teach you but in same gender case, you will find no scale shifting issues...

Who decided that black 1/2 is for males n 4/5 is for females. A classical singer is the one who can sing in any scale and covers the whole range of harmonium.
