Usage:

The term "alto" can refer to both a vocal range and a type of instrument. In vocal music, an alto refers to a person with a lower female voice or higher male voice. In instrumental music, an alto refers to an instrument that plays in the same range as the vocal alto.

Editor's note:

"Alto" is derived from the Italian word "alto," meaning "high." It is often used as a musical term to describe a voice or instrument that has a higher range. In music, it is important to have a balance of different vocal ranges and instruments to create harmonious and dynamic performances.
