Music Matters · preferred source

Classical voice types and vocal categories. This music theory lesson explains the various voice parts and clarifies vocal ranges. In the standard four-part choir we expect to find Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, and Basses. The Tenors generally sing at a range an octave below the Sopranos, while the Basses do the same below the Altos. Terms are clarified, such as the difference between Alto, Contralto and Counter Tenor, and the additional intermediate voices are also covered, such as the Mezzo Sopranos and Baritones. By the end of this music theory lesson you will understand the various voice types, their ranges, and the principles of writing for voices in a choral framework. 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕
