    This is really good basic instruction on how to start harmonizing. You might find it interesting to know that this almost exactly how I teach beginners to "street" or "woodshed" a song. In summary, its 3 simple instructions: 1)Learn the melody first, since you can't harmonize to an unknown melody. 2)Find a note that works and then DON'T move until you feel you absolutely HAVE to 3) when you do move, move the SHORTEST possible distance. Rinse and repeat :) This method can be used for multiple (at least 3) harmony parts both above and below the melody line, assuming the singer can at least find their own first unique starting note.

    I’ve always sang “1st soprano” in choir so I’ve never learned to harmonize. I want to audition for my church’s worship team but knowing how to harmonize on the spot is a requirement. Thank you for this series. I pray this helps!

      Same.
      I started really listening for the harmonies in songs I know.
      I can hear them now on any song.
      I started learning music theory to help.
      Now when I try to sing harmony, it ebbs and flows like the waves on an ocean.
      I am excited for the progress I made, and will continue to keep practicing.

    Thank you with all my heart. I used to be able to sing complex harmony by ear but it’s like I’ve lost it completely. Singing on a praise team and a small bluesy group is very difficult and I seem to be really struggling. I’m fine and totally able to do the higher and lower harmony in a trio or just in the congregation, but up on the stage with the sound equipment in my ears, I’m dead to harmony.
    So I will simplify and go with the one note

My passion is to sing harmony, even if taught it for only a few specific songs, as mentioned. But when y ou suggest these tips, it makes some sense, and is exhilarating, when it sounds right! Thank you so much for your very well thought out, articulate, video with some great demonstration examples. Yes, you totally make us feel happy, who want to, make up a harmony part! Thanks again, for your beautiful service, instruction, style, and your voice is absolutely breathlessly enjoyable, no matter what voice you sing, or what range, lol! Ty agin Aimee Nolte Music!

    I really like how all your videos remind us to involve the whole body in music: listening, singing, and playing. Yes, of course it's all the same thing just using different senses, and you can do it wherever you happen to be-- on a skateboard or a keyboard! I am a bit isolated (1000km from any 'city' of 50,000+ ) so your personal examples and quality instruction are a lifesaver for learning jazz from the inside-out. Thanks so much.

    @stuartmoore6310 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you Aimee. I've been struggling with singing the harmony part with the folks I play with because I always want to go to the melody line. Even when I practice my part endlessly it's often a struggle to get it right. This has taught me that I don't necessarily have to sing a specific harmony line as long as the note or notes I'm singing mesh with the melody line. The master at this was David Crosby with Crosby Stills Nash & (sometimes) Young.
    He also was the harmony magician with The Byrds.
