A soprano () is a type of classical singing voice and has the highest vocal range of all voice types. The soprano's vocal range (using scientific pitch notation) is from approximately middle C (C4) = 261 Hz to A5 in choral music, or to soprano C (C6) or higher in operatic music. In four-part chorale style harmony, the soprano takes the highest part, which often encompasses the melody. The soprano voice type is generally divided into the coloratura, soubrette, lyric, spinto, and dramatic soprano.
A soprano is the highest singing voice type in classical music, typically ranging from middle C to A5 or higher depending on whether it's used in choral or operatic settings. In ensemble singing, sopranos usually perform the top melodic line, and the voice type is further divided into several categories—coloratura, soubrette, lyric, spinto, and dramatic—based on the singer's capabilities and vocal qualities.
