Workshop: Harmony Singing By Ear

Saturday, November 16, 2024
1:00-4:00 pm Eastern

In this workshop, you will:

• participate in ear-training exercises and tricks to help find harmony notes
• learn to identify and sing various intervals - two and three notes combinations
• learn how to choose specific harmony notes that add color and feeling to a song
• how to harmonize in major, minor and modal harmonic frameworks
• how to find and hold your part while blending with other voices

We will spend the first half of the workshop on vocal exercises and learning a small repertoire of harmony-rich songs. In the second half of the workshop, we will break into smaller groups- dyads, and triads to try out more nuanced harmony techniques.

The instructor will provide individualized instruction as needed to the break-out groups. Participants will be invited to share/perform a song at the end.

This workshop is appropriate for individuals 15 years and up, and those who feel comfortable learning and singing by ear.
