The singing human voice is also sometimes considered an instrument. Voices are classified according to their range into the following categories:


 * Soprano, the highest female voice
 * Mezzo-soprano, just lower than a soprano
 * Alto or contralto, the lower female voice
 * Tenor, the highest standard male voice
 * Baritone, male voice between tenor and bass
 * Bass, the lowest male voice
 * Castrato, a castrated male with a high voice
 * Countertenor, a high male singer with alto range (like the castrato), generally using falsetto
