Range (music)

In music, the range of a musical instrument is the distance from the lowest to the highest pitch it can play. For a singing voice, this is known as vocal range.

The range of a musical part is the distance between its lowest and highest note. The duration range is the difference between the shortest and longest rhythm used.

Dynamic range is the difference between the quietest and loudest volume of an instrument, part or piece of music.
