The role of the soprano is singing melody and is the highest singing voice. The soprano voice usually an octave above the other parts but not an absolute rule for sometimes the soprano takes the lower notes. Usually this would occur in a choir or a four part song. It goes like this: Soprano, Alto (women) Tenor, Base (usually men) but if a women has a very low range alto voice she can sing a man tenor part.
