The defintion of a pitch
Pitch is the range of tone on the musical scale. They are four pitches in the human voices, ranging from the saprano to the bass. Saprano which is really high usually women sing it but male also do as falseto. Falseto is define as a note on the high range of the scale by a performer whose voice range is actually much lower on the musical scale. Examples of male singer who sing falseto are Sting in the song "Roxxane" and Ricado RIkROK ducent in the song "in it wasn't" me featuring Shaggy. Two example of women who can sing Soprano are Mariah Carey in almost all of her song, and Whiteny in "I will always love you."

They are four ranges of Pitches
The second range in the human voice is Alto, Alto can be defines as the lowest range of tone a performer can sing, usually female sing this range. A couple of musician who sing in this voice ranger are Dido in the song, "Thank you" and Sade in the song "by your side". The third range of tone is Tenor. Tenor is define as the highest range of a performer can reaching Alto, usually male performers sing this range. Example of males performers who sing in alto are D'angelo and Tupac. Last but not leat range of the human tone is Bass. Bass is the lowest range the human voice can go. Since males have lower voice male performes usually sing in bass. Two example of performers with the bass picth is Nototious BIG and Berry White. From what you can notice these four scales are based on the range of a women,a man leaving the kids and old folks. Most Jazz performer sing like they voice are cracking imitating old people cracking voice. With the real high tone and real low tone you can get two oher scales. With the voice of kids you can also a totally different scale , and if the kid is sing real low or real high we can get two whole different new scale.
