Harmony Singing By Ear
A step by step approach to learn how to find and sing harmonies above and
below a melody. Three CDs include three 1/2 hours of instructional
narratives and fully produced music tracks with and without guide vocals. One, two or more
singers can learn two and three-part harmony singing. Vocal coach Susan Anders
has successfully used these how to harmonize methods for over twenty years with pop, R&B,
folk, rock and country singers.
"These CDs have enabled me to learn not only some of the basics of music theory, but also how to sing harmony to some really great songs."
Monica D.
"Great CDs, great teacher: I have another one of Susan Anders' teaching CDs (the No Scales, Just Songs Vocal Workout) and it has helped me a lot. These harmonizing lessons are very clear and easy to understand. I've already learned more about singing harmony than I have in the last 5 years."
Ruth C.
"Great CDs! The lessons are just what one needs to learn to sing harmony. Very helpful for a person who does not sing harmony naturally or has no clue of how to even find the harmony parts."
Carlos L.
"This CD set is awesome! Susan's instructions are very clear and easy to understand."

Harmony Singing By Ear uses two complementary methods to teach singers how to harmonize by ear. After reviewing some music theory basics, instructional
sections walk you through how to find the upper and lower harmony parts for eight
songs. Those same harmonies are sung on music tracks. On these
tracks the vocal parts are panned to different speakers--singers can pan to
one speaker and just hear their part, pan to the middle and hear both parts, or
pan to the other speaker to practice with the other part. In this way,
beginning harmonizers can control how much or how little of the other voices they
hear, making it easier to stay on their part. More confident harmonizers can
sing without the guide vocals. Singers who simply want to learn and sing the
harmony parts can skip the instructional tracks, go right to the music and vocal
tracks, and pan their speakers to the right to learn the harmony part for each
song.
Though much of Harmony Singing By Ear focuses on the how-tos of parallel
harmonizing above and below a melody, singers will also learn about call-response,
blue note, chromatic and block chord harmonies. Music tracks without vocals
are also included so singers can practice their parts "without the training
wheels". Plus, there are supplementary sections including exercises to build
one's harmonizing skills and advice on how to polish harmony parts. The songs
range in style from pop to R&B to folk to modern rock to jazz.
Skill Level: Beginning to Intermediate. The early songs are very easy, the
later songs increase in difficulty.

Vocal Ranges
Melodies: F# below middle C to A above middle C-- alto/high tenor range
Upper harmonies: A below middle C to C above middle C-- alto/soprano range
Lower harmonies: D below middle C to F# above middle C-- baritone/tenor/low alto range
All parts can be sung an octave above or below the harmonies on the CD to
allow lower and higher singers to join in. How to do this is explained on CD #1.
