peepee popoo what helps me is not trying to listen to the main singers melody but singing the song in a different note of the chord hes singing. So sorta like singing in a different (matching) pitch but sometimes a bit higher or lower than that because of majors/minors/7th etc. So I try only to focus on my voice singing the song and only sidewise look for it to match. Probably not a pro tip as I'm horrible at shower singing anyways most of the times this works out for me singing for myself haha
SAME this sound stupid but for me it helped to pick my natural singing level and keep my hand in the middle because that's my pitch but then just keep it there and concentrate on u
This did not help me. How do I find harmony with no musical instruments while singing with a group. I try and end up singing octaves higher or lower.. never harmony. Why am I struggling to harmonize, I do not know. I am a rather strong lead singer. Tell us how to find harmony without jumping octaves, please.
Aren't those quite archaic musical theory terms? I only ever encountered them in one quite heavy theory book, not having, just saying lol... great lesson.
whenever im listening to a song i try to harmonize but my vocal chords have a different idea...i can never harmonize. when i try to i end up doing melody again edit a year later: y’all i didn’t even know i had this comment- after a year of practicing (because apparently i wrote this a year ago), today i can harmonize to ANY song i hear. i am a singer, my whole family is really good at singing and i’m pretty decent at it (i’m 13 years old right now) i sing in my church’s praise team and my team leader helped me out a lot, but i recommend to start with using the piano. i won’t explain the whole process, but what i did was i played the melody, then moved three notes up from the melody, which is the harmony. if that didn’t make sense i’m sorry you can try searching it up but the piano helped me a lot
Well if you were trying to play a single note together with someone and you were slightly out of tune, (unless you're tone deaf) you would naturally correct to match the person you're singing with. It doesn't really matter how wide the gap between your pitch and the other pitch is, you will naturally pull yourself to match that pitch on some octave. It's simply human nature to resolve that difference. To that point, virtually-perfect pitch harmonic music is very difficult to make, especially when singing or playing a wind instrument.
Bruuuuuh..... You make me feel like Im watching science documentaries in middle school again... like what?!?! You're talking about music but Im visualizing the start of the universe. Its like being in a room with Morgan Freeman.
@Caprak at first, I watched a lot of tutorial videos on how to harmonize, then I realize it’s like a personal instinct, but those videos helped me somehow. When I joined the choir, our conductress gave us tips on how to harmonize, such as shadowing the melody *if it makes sense*, and when she teaches us she uses her keyboard to show us the right notes for harmonizing then it it became natural for me.
Is it weird that when i listen to a song and try to sing the same notes as the singer my brain just doesnt want to but instead it changes my voice to harmonize automatically?
Dude... ive been a music teacher for 20 years and this was such a 'omg' moment I just can't even.... why was i too dopey to think to do just a drone note??? This is 100%... going to start my little tone deaf singer on the 1 and 5 today. Thank you.
You have an amazing talent for narration, if you haven't already I would suggest looking at that kind of work if you ever need some spare change, thanks for the lesson really enjoyed it
Your lessons are so well explained. Even though I learned music theory, I'm sure everyone who just began to study music will also understand every single thing you are explaining, even without watching the previous videos. Great job, man!
i guess i was just born with a good ear, because it’s easy for me to harmonize lol. i just “hear” a harmony to a melody and i sing what i hear in my head lol
I think you are an excellent teacher! I've been around the world twice playing bass, Ive played music since I was in grade 6& let's just say I'm over 50, but.. I still enjoy learning, and I like the concise way you break it dwn, that's not too plodding or ultra remedial, so thank you for putting quality lessons out there I've enjoyed your Rhythm reading music videos as well as your singing instructions choose from Burbank California
…what if i am literally tone deaf? i struggle to harmonise because i’ll try and think it sounds amazing and it’s straight up a tritone and i can’t tell while singing
That great, Saher. I've used this technique quite a bit. I've always thought of it this way: I look at the chord, find a pedal that is in the chord and creates the most 3rds and 6ths, and use that note. I'll try some root, 5th pedals the next time I need a harmony.
Awesome video Saher! I just did a video on harmony tips too, and I love how you talk about the scale degrees. Really clear way to put it. Sometimes I think talking about scale degrees can seem like one of those music theory things that overwhelms people, but you made it super clear here. Great video man!
Wow thank you , harmonising is my favourite thing to do , feels absolutely heavenly , spiritual, like I can fly , was never good enough to be a backing vocalist but it's actually where I want to be , in the back ground making the rest of the creation come alive , the icing on the cake so to speak . All the best singers are great backing vocalists I.m.o 😃
Thanks for this. I also wanted to disagree with you when you say, "We can't simply choose based on what sounds pleasant; we also need to be thinking about what function is appropriate". If we stuck to that kind of thinking, 1. we would not have many of the types of music which have departed from the then prevalent norm, and 2. we are not acknowledging the context of where harmony is at our historical moment in time.
My problem is when the other person sings I start to go off my harmony. I’ve gotten better but I have to mute them out. I can’t find how to fix that. I can think of harmonies though
I thought I got it until I listened to the harmony part for the dominant. I thought we were just supposed to sing one note, but that does not appear to be what is indicated. Other than that, a great lesson and excellent advice for us beginners.
The lucidity of this content is inspiring. A book with related subjects enhanced my intellectual capacity. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
I just figured one out using a lot of pedals, "Crazy Words", by the California Ramblers (we're a Dixieland duo). I couldn't get a harmony I liked for the longest time. This is so easy. It really works pretty well for melodies that skip around a lot. Here's another trick if you have three guys. It's easy to make up a completely different melody over a set of changes completely independent of the melody. Have one guy sing the melody, one guy makeup a melody more or less above the actual melody and the 3rd guy make up another melody more or less below the the actual melody. You are are bound to always have a 3rd or 6th in there somewhere. This doesn't work very well for two voices.
I just sing random notes until it sounds bomb
Same 😂😂

That voice. I could listen to any of your lessons. I have understood everything you said and I have found a way to harmonize my choir.
Your voice is super Soothing!
Really thankful to you Saher. I follow two of your lessons on harmony everyday. I'm getting there.
Daily practice is the way. Awesome work!
Was this beautiful? Yup.
Did I get it? Nope.
I always sing two notes bellow / above because singing in thirds is literally my only strategy
mood especially comes in handy being an alto
Your voice is magical.
This is the most helpful harmony tip I've ever heard. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
I'm just naturally good at improvising harmonizing
Nice!! Informative but therapeutic as well. The whole video has a nice relaxing ambiance about it.
Just started watching you.. You're pretty awesome
Do try this at home!
You’re a beast!!! Always practice your stuff! Keep it up legend!
You're a great educator, Saher. Thanks for the vid!
I love the 1234567 illustration instead of any actual note names there! Also I really enjoy your voice!
Great technique
JAMIE LENNISTER does harmony lessons. Thank you !

Hormonize is so hard for me ... i wanna cry now !!! omg !

Same 😭😭
I was having a hard time too, but I joined a chorale at my school and then now I can harmonize very well. I’m a baritone btw.
@@jannmarcos2736 how do you practice?

Not only are you a great teacher, your voice is really soothing as well 😂keep up with the good work!
You sound like Greg from diary of a wimpy kid grown up
Is it weird that when i listen to a song and try to sing the same notes as the singer my brain just doesnt want to but instead it changes my voice to harmonize automatically?
Sir Juvi wow really ? that’s actually so cool !!
Nope I do that too
Any musician does that...
i wish
Sir Juvi I wish I could do that
Dude... ive been a music teacher for 20 years and this was such a 'omg' moment I just can't even.... why was i too dopey to think to do just a drone note??? This is 100%... going to start my little tone deaf singer on the 1 and 5 today. Thank you.
I just felt like someone explained the meaning of life to me and complicated it by a thousand
Man’s voice: Nice
Me: OoOoOoOoOoOo
You have an amazing talent for narration, if you haven't already I would suggest looking at that kind of work if you ever need some spare change, thanks for the lesson really enjoyed it
Sounds like he should be narrating Curious George
I started harmonizing with the background music 😹
Spark did enlist in the "army"
Syn Gates uh what
i don't know if I'd consider a music theory lesson "an easy trick…." but you did a good job
your voice is comforting
Hmmm i got very serial killer vibes lol 😂😂
Υou are awesome. Thank you so much for another great lesson. Chris , Melbourne , Australia.
My pleasure, cheers Chris
I need you to narrate my life.
Your lessons are so well explained. Even though I learned music theory, I'm sure everyone who just began to study music will also understand every single thing you are explaining, even without watching the previous videos. Great job, man!
For me, harmonizing is very simple, but this video is actually helpful. Thanks for helping those.
i guess i was just born with a good ear, because it’s easy for me to harmonize lol. i just “hear” a harmony to a melody and i sing what i hear in my head lol
Wow I'd pay a lot of cash to have that skill. I hope you randomly harmonize with everything you encounter daily lol x
You're blessed!
Yeah I can do this too 😁😆
I think you are an excellent teacher!

Me watching how to harmonize at 12 am: oooooo in the head, man that's hard lol i wanna sing
I love your explanation and exercise! It’s so easy to follow.
I can't find that note for the dominant at 3:21 - I don't think we got to hear it in isolation
That great, Saher. I've used this technique quite a bit. I've always thought of it this way: I look at the chord, find a pedal that is in the chord and creates the most 3rds and 6ths, and use that note. I'll try some root, 5th pedals the next time I need a harmony.
Appreciate you. I want to learn as much as I can about the music business. I wrote a song. Working on the harmonies for it. Thank you for your time.
I want to add some spice to my church songs because everybody sings the melody and it gets boring
Man. Your lessons inspire me! KARL DIESEL from São Paulo - Brazil
Awesome video Saher! I just did a video on harmony tips too, and I love how you talk about the scale degrees. Really clear way to put it. Sometimes I think talking about scale degrees can seem like one of those music theory things that overwhelms people, but you made it super clear here. Great video man!
If you know the notes on A piano you Will know What he is talking about the tonic and dominant.
Or the root and the fifth
billie was the ad❤️

It’s sooooooo much fun when you can finally learn to harmonize
Ty idol..
Choose the red or blue pill.......but remember I only offer you the truth Neo. 😂
What mic does he have?

I’m so frustrated. I live in San Marcos and I’m singing in church which is súper fun, but I want to give up.. I can’t find the harmony
I LOVE YOUR LESSONS .. so helpful for aspiring singers like me 🤗
His program is the way to go if you're tryna sing the fastest way
Someone with ADHD please make another way to read music.
I wish I saw this before I started my garage band. "Cacaphonous Din!"
Best lessons I've come across yet 🙌🏼
His program is just like this.
So...I'm a music teacher...and I appreciate the background "tonic" and "dominant" pings in the music! Great little touch!
I f you are an absolute beginner at this i suggest you study some basic music theory before trying this. It telling you it will be a lot easier
That was so simple and easy to understand. Love this!!
Thanks!
Just sing in the key of C & only sing the white notes & you'll never be out of key! 🤣🤣
