Hi Judy. I got here by web serendipity 🙂 Here are a couple of my favorites: How High The Moon/Rita Payes (worth watching to the end: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1359387677439365 ), Jeannine(sic)/Manhattan Transfer (especially when they get around the piano: @0:39).

Thank you so much, Cynthia!! So happy you enjoyed it, and maybe you'll enjoy the harmony you hear even more for learning more about it!

Hi Judy, Great post. Love the detailed explanations, i.e., difference between blues and bluegrass. I'm tone-deaf, and totally enjoyed this lively post.

Thanks,Judy, for this very educational blog. My experience with the subject is minimal having sung in a choir at church many years ago. I recall the difficulty of learning a part that was not the melody and trying to not stumble into the melody. Frequently, the ladies were singing the melody, and being a tenor I “ desperately” wanted to sing their notes! Our director would never spend enough time drilling in the bass, alto, and tenor parts, (which were really baritone range), and the guys never felt comfortable. Your teaching methods would have really helped our choir!

If they give out awards for "America's Best Blogs," you should win one. I always SO appreciate the loving care you put into your blog, to say nothing of the incredibly interesting and valuable information and advice you share. As usual, BEAUTIFUL job!

Really nice job, Judy! My buddy Ray has been playing with harmony since he was seven years old, and was singing barbershop in the Marines on their way to Iwo Jima in 1945. When we first met (1996), our talking about harmony, and the influence of uncontrolled vowel sounds and their overtone partials (did you say "oohs and aahs?") mismatching between two people — even on the same pitch without harmonizing — is what led Ray to invent HearFones in the first place . . . so a singer can actually hear their own vice and how it sounds while they work on honing it to fit in context.

I love harmonies. It's interesting to hear about how different genres even have different styles. I wish more popular music on the radio had great harmony.
