I've never been in a choir class or anything of such, but I do sing when I'm alone and thought it would try this thinking it would be pretty hard but it was actually really easy and I kinda liked it.
you can try to put your hand on your ear and when you will find the good spot, you can actually hear yourself better and it will make it easier for you :)
did this to improve my harmonizing skills, because im pretty bad. it was quite helpful because it starts off easy and it gives you plenty of time to get accustomed. i started messing up at melody 4 though 😂 but i’ll use this video as exercise
As someone who was in both her school choir and church choir this was easy peasy.....proud to say I didn't make any mistake.....as long as you memorize it as I hear it n u can hear urself ull be fine....
Relatively easy, and very enjoyable to hear how our part fits into the various harmonies. But to make it more challenging and more like real life, we need the accompaniment to have occasional wrong notes and sometimes someone a bit out of tune ;-)
Enjoyed it all. By rehearsing you can improve the accuracy (intonation) nicely. Thank You ! Perhaps some suspended and minor seventh chords would motivate even more :)
Excelent video, thanks! For me the 5th and 7th Melodies just killed me, I think this was due to the fact that they don't work in the natural scale, making it a little bit difficult
OMG I actually didn't do too bad! I mean, I had to replay the melodies a few times before getting to the harmonies, but other than that I had expected to do worse.
You kust know that I've been try for month, every practice takes longer because I keep following the loudest person. I'm glad to say that after months and months I think I've got it. I managed to keep up with the video, yay. But I've realized that when something is recorded I'm ok with following, but live and on my own I lose it
My problem is: I know both sides of the harmony by memory This is easy cuz I’ve never heard it before But when it’s my turn to sing with the other voice, I confuse and sing their bit instead Like in If I could tell her (from Dear Evan Hansen) I sing Evan, but in the “We’re a million worlds apart” both characters sing and I sing the other voice instead-
Thanks for the great practice vid. Melody 1 was hard cuz i've never done anything like this before. really disorienting. messed up on melody 5, probably cuz it's in a minor key/scale? (don't know much about music.) melody 7 was a little hard for the same reason, but by then i was more used to it. went back and did melody 5 and did it right. i think i learned a lot.
I put earbuds in and then used a guitar tuner app as a visual guide. It was really helpful. I also started with the sound lower than my voice and gradually raised it as I got more comfortable.
This is REALLY GOOD. Never really had 2 sing in harmony, until singing w/this choir. I don't read music either, I only have my ears. So will see how it goes, especially this Sunday. Thank U 4 this.
Those are dissonant harmonies. Chances are, you were singing right, but the dissonance made you question it. As a music major who has been in choir since I was very, very young, those harmonies almost threw me off as well because I was expecting basic consonant harmonies! However, dissonant harmonies are very common, and are usually demonstrated as, but not limited to, seventh chords! If you want to hear more harmonies that “clash”, as my choir teacher would say, give a listen to Eric Whitacre! Also, check out Jacob Collier! When I think of dissonance and crunchy sounding chords, they’re the first people I think of! Dissonance in music is one of my favorite musical concepts, and I think it would be interesting to understand and practice if you don’t already :))
The last one I messed up once but got back into it (I was just testing myself Bc I’m a choir student of 4 years and just wanted to make sure my harmonization skills were still up to date 🙃)
Great lesson. Unlike perfect pitch, I believe becoming a natural harmonizer can be trained. Basically, I know music theory and can and do write out the harmony and then learn it like another melody, but I'd like to be able to do it naturally. So I'm working on a system where I take four note patterns like 1, 5, 3, 7 and while playing them on the piano repeatedly, I sing a 3rd below 6, 3, 1, 5. After a few repetitions, i do the same a 3rd above, 3, 7, 5, 2. I created about 35 four note pattern and I figure that if I get fluent doing this, maybe I'll develop a talent for just knocking out a harmony naturally. We'll see.
I'm sorry after spending 5 mins humming this i was hit from behind what happened to be my sister's phone when she realized she didn't have any alarms set on her phone🤭🤣🤣
I always have a really hard time with harmonies.. And I rarely ever sing actually, but I wanted to try this and somehow I managed to do it.. I'm shocked 😳
Loved it, and in response to the question at the end of the video, too easy for me. I’ll look around your channel for more stuff, as any practice is good practice. Thank you.
Je vous écoute depuis le sud de la France… Je trouve ça parfait… Pas si facile mais très bien enseigné… mon objectif c’est d’améliorer mes improvisation de deuxième voix à la Thyrse… Je vous remercie infiniment🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰
Liked this? Try another singing challenge ruclips.net/video/OhtTHQBwEKU/видео.html
OMG THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED!!! I LOVE DOING HARMONIES BUT WHENEVER IT’S MY TURN TO BE THE MELODY I’M GETTING LOST
SAMEEEE😭😭😭
PLEASE ITS SI HARD 😭
It's tricky😂
All choir people- where you at?
Hey
suuuuuup
hereeee
Yuh
right here
At some point, I stopped paying attention and composed my own harmonies oops
Exactlyyy
same ooooof the struggle is real
ikr
„At some point“...... 0:38 🙃
Saaaame :)!
THE HARMONIES ARE SO INTERESTING THO
The second one like what the heck haha
Yep. Very strange progressions.
Well this is easy for choir/acapella singers. Where yall at?
I am neither, but it was easy for me
I’m here, hello
Choir kids be like:😏
And musical theatre kids 😋
Especially when you are an alto or second soprano singing the same things all over again on daily basis 😁
Musical theatre kids wya
gang gang ✌️
HERE
here !
🥵🥵
yo yo lmao
I miss singing with other people, especially harmonizing. This was fun!
Watching this
To identify melodies:🤚
To have more harmony ideas: 👌
I've never been in a choir class or anything of such, but I do sing when I'm alone and thought it would try this thinking it would be pretty hard but it was actually really easy and I kinda liked it.
Natural singers can slide into almost anything ✨✨✨
@@_SZNN cringe but yes
@@malachipg7576 not cringe just true ✨✨✨
The minor harmony notes get me every time 😂
Minor difficulties
THE MINOR REALLY MESSED EVERYTHING UP but thank God i made it LMFAO 😂😂
I've had those exercises in my choir singing days.
Hahah we didn’t
I always lost my melody when i heard other melody join the harmony😤
you can try to put your hand on your ear and when you will find the good spot, you can actually hear yourself better and it will make it easier for you :)
@@kristy9535 that's what I did in choir! 🤍
@@sir7277 yes me too :)
@@kristy9535 :)
@@kristy9535 Oh my god, that worked a treat. Thank you.
I used to do this with my guitar. Sing the notes and play a different note on guitar.
@Juliano Cosme yes. Practicing scales on a piano is common so why not on guitar. It's All about retraining the mind to think differently.
* flexes in alto/mezzo *
YUP
HAHAHAHHA
Right
Same 😁
I can even write a comment and sing the right thing at the same time without a problem 🙃
I miss my choirmates 😭
same 😭 between the the pandemic and moving across the country ive lost my favorite choir class
Me too last year 😭😭😭
Same I miss them
Im in a choir- I have no need for this- but here i am enjoying it ways:,)

As a mostly self-taught singer, this is so hard! 💀 I really hope this helps me generalize to the harmony part I wrote for a performance next month!
I bet you nailed.
@@JohnDoe-vr9bj awh sweetest human alive
Melody 5 was composed by the devil!! That second note 😂😂😂
Like seriously
WTF
yessss
Wtf thats just a chromatic scale from c to e like sooo easy
RIGGHTTT!?????? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MEEEEEE. I eventually gave up and was like, our church choir ain't gonna be doing all that anyway. So.
It sounded like it went to sharp
As someone who was in both her school choir and church choir this was easy peasy.....proud to say I didn't make any mistake.....as long as you memorize it as I hear it n u can hear urself ull be fine....
That did hurt a little
For someone who doesn’t have too much experience, this is actually really helpful! Thank u for posting this 😊 🎙
This is going to be part of my practice arsenal now. I get lost way too often
Perfect. No talking, only the exercise. Im practicing while tidyong the house with headphones, on repeat. Great
This IS my vocal warm up
Choir people: I do this on a daily basis, wdym.
(I wrote this while singing the exercises, lmao)
i din had any practice for harmonies in choir (':
@@adenakee3901 How odd😅 and sad🙈
I learned this in musical theatre
I only did chorus once a long time ago
Me reading through the comments while I do it haha
Same!!🤣🤣🤣
This is good, but I would really enjoy if you played each melody one more time at the end of its segment so people can check if they stayed on pitch!
me too!
Relatively easy, and very enjoyable to hear how our part fits into the various harmonies. But to make it more challenging and more like real life, we need the accompaniment to have occasional wrong notes and sometimes someone a bit out of tune ;-)
Melody 1 0:31
Melody 2 1:48
Melody 3 3:13
Melody 4 4:58
Melody 5 7:04
Melody 6 9:10
Melody 7 11:16
Melody 5, the second note was the reason why I messed up💀💀💀
Same😂💥
SAME THING
Me too. That note is tricky.
Me too! 5 was the hardest melody for me 😥
Lol it was similar with melody 7 for me
I want to be able to harmonize on the spot . But i just cant this what ive been struggling .
i think you need perfect pitch to do that
@@y4nlu1s really?
I've ben trying to get back into ear training and these vids are awesome thank you!
One trick is to come up with a motion for your pitch like finger goes side then up then down.
I taught myself harmony and i'm in tune almost instantly
This makes me miss being in a choir
Enjoyed it all. By rehearsing you can improve the accuracy (intonation) nicely. Thank You !
Perhaps some suspended and minor seventh chords would motivate even more :)

This is something that I struggled the most with. I thought it was a problem that only I have. Thank god I am not the only one. Yessss
holy shit this is hard. Feels so good when fluking it :)

Would love to sing anything but have a terrible voice. This is good stuff. Thanks
very thankful for the colours in the background since i can remember db orange green to yellow
1:13 Already forgot the one I was supposed to sing
My problem is:
I know both sides of the harmony by memory
This is easy cuz I’ve never heard it before

Like in If I could tell her (from Dear Evan Hansen) I sing Evan, but in the “We’re a million worlds apart” both characters sing and I sing the other voice instead-
I'm not a choir kid and I don't even sing but for some reason I'm reallyy good at harmonies
WHERE ARE MY CHOIR KIDS AT?!?
✋🏻👁👄👁
I used to be in choir when I was a kid does that count?
@@Foxikaze yez
✌✌✌ Just starting out tho
✋
I was able to do it. Not long ago that seemed like impossible task, but brain learns fast. Even after age of 40

THESE HARMONIES REMIND ME CHOIR *memories*
7:00 - Melody 5
9:04 - Melody 6
11:10 - Melody 7

Thank U 4 this.
one of the things i miss about choir is getting the chills from certain songs when we nailed a section
I messed up on the second note of the number five
like three times because I couldn't sing it
until I found my pitch again
but it took me three tries
Love it, but could use a more challenging one as well
I dont think its difficult to sing my voice but i just love the other ones more 😂
i cannot express how much i love this
This was very helpful, thank you!! Very hard for me though 😅
Thank you so much for this video.
Melody 5 was impossible for me to do, I couldn't go from the first to the second note. The rest - super helpful and fun
LOVE THIS AND ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH
this is too easy can you please make a harder one?
I have learnt Indian classical. Found it easy this far.
Some did not sound like harmonies....maybe i was singing wrong

Superb exercises. I wish this had appeared on my page 4 years ago. 👍🏾
Life saver 🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🤸
This has helped me to stop sliding to the other person's note 👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪
Wow, thanks so much!
Too easy. The concept is great, but I'd appreciate longer melodies.
Well maybe youre a PRO already 😂 here is for us who cant do shit with harmonize
Im here after watching Naomi joy duet where I sing the melody and she harmonizes and boyyyyy that shit was hard
Me 2
Till melody 5 was easy. Was a little pitchy for 5 but did ok
Wonderful exercise 👌👍 tq very much

2:09 When you forget to take the chicken out of the freezer
TYYY THIS WAS SO NEEDED
This is helps so much and the harmonies are really good and sound beautiful
Very nice and the colors would show you what you’re singing and then what they’re singing that way if you get lost you can get back on track
This is the easiest way to harmonize, thanks a lot
Very helpful and brilliant video.
Excellent great workout. Would enjoy others if you have the time.Thanks so much.
Loved this exercise! It was kinda easy for me though, just one time halfway through when I had some trouble during one bar :)
I'm sorry after spending 5 mins humming this i was hit from behind what happened to be my sister's phone when she realized she didn't have any alarms set on her phone🤭🤣🤣
A VIDEO THAT MIGHT SAVE ME FROM BEING CONFUSED
