Basics of Voice-Leading
Voice leading primarily consists of four distinct voices on two staves (the treble and bass staves), which encompass the entire musical scale. The four voices are:


 * Soprano: This is the highest voice, sung by females.
 * Alto: The next highest voice, sung by females.
 * Tenor: Sung by males.
 * Bass: The lowest voice, sung by males.
