What do the numbers mean? Here is a simple breakdown.
Octaves (Total Range)
An octave is the distance between one note and the same note at double the frequency (e.g., C3 to C4). This is the standard measure of vocal width.
- 1.5 – 2 Octaves: Average / Untrained
- 2 – 3 Octaves: Amateur Singer
- 3 – 4 Octaves: Professional
- 4+ Octaves: Exceptional / Elite
Semitones (Precision)
A semitone (or half-step) is the smallest interval in Western music—the distance between any two adjacent keys on a piano.
- 12 Semitones = 1 Full Octave
- 24 Semitones = 2 Full Octaves
- Example: C3 to G4 is 19 semitones (approx 1.58 octaves).
Frequency (Hz)
Hertz (Hz) measures physical vibration speed. Lower notes vibrate slower, while higher notes vibrate faster.
- E2 (Low Bass): 82.4 Hz
- C4 (Middle C): 261.6 Hz
- A4 (Standard): 440 Hz
- C6 (High Soprano): 1046.5 Hz
