Voice Ranges

For the purpose of music theory class, we will set out restrictions for voice ranges that are likely more limited than those found among vocalists in the class. These voice ranges are based on those most commonly found in J.S. Bach’s 371 Chorales. Please note that you may find slight variations in ranges depending on the reference source you are using.
