A quartet is a musical ensemble comprised of four players, each with their own individual role. This can include different instruments or repeated instruments, like in a string quartet, which typically consists of two violins, a viola, and a cello—performing the SATB vocal arrangement (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass). Vocal quartets have similar structure with distinct gender roles. Conversely, jazz quartets usually feature a horn, a chord instrument, bass, and drums, allowing for improvisation and solos. Discover the diverse world of quartets!

  2. What is a Quartet? • A quartet is an ensemble of four players, who each have their own part. • They may have four different instruments, or one instrument may be doubled like in a string quartet. • For string and voice quartets, the instruments play four parts – SATB. • SATB stands for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass.

  3. String Quartet • A string quartet is made of two violins, a viola, and a cello. • Violin has the highest range so they play the soprano and alto lines. Viola has a middle range so it plays tenor. Cello plays the bass range. • String quartets have been around since the late 1700s.

  7. Jazz Quartets • Jazz quartets are made of a horn, a “chord” instrument, a bass, and a drum kit. • The horn could be either a saxophone or a trumpet. They play the lead and will often solo while everyone else keeps playing. • Keyboards or electric guitar are the most popular instruments to play chords. • Bass can either be a bass guitar or a string bass.
