History

in the 13th century, Johannes de Garlandia and Jerome of Moravia where the first to record mention of the term chest voice and head voice, distinguishing from the “throat voice”.

Today’s popular approach is to divide in this way:

• Men’s “chest register”
• Men’s “head register”
• Men’s “falsetto register”
• Woman’s “chest register”
• Woman’s “middle register”
• Woman’s “head register”

However, with the evolution of biological understanding of the human body, specifically about the mechanism of creating sound, many teachers prefer to replace the term “register” for “voice”, like chest voice and head voice, hence the current knowledge that the sound is not registered by the “head” or the “chest”.
