Oh my gosh, I just teared up watching and singing along with this video. Thank you for giving harmony some logic for me!!! And the visual to go along with it! My jaw is on the floor! If I could afford it I would totally hire you for singing lessons! I've rewinded through this video dozens of times and I'm going to learn this technique! Finally! A million thank you's!
Thank you so much! I am a music professor with a doctorate in music theory and composition and I have never seen a more clear and helpful instructional tool for vocal harmonization. This is so concise and enlightening. I appreciate your sharing this
kel m Yes, it is. If you have a piano or guitar it can really help to play the notes separately then together before you sing them. Sort of tune yourself into it.
I've been singing harmony for many years and I can say that this video is by far the best thing I've seen... Thank you Saher... May God bless you for this, your service to mankind..
I have a pretty good voice. Recently I’ve been learning to sing with a group. When I sing alone I’m fine, but I’ve always struggled when I sang with others. Thank you for an amazing and informative video. This was exactly what I needed!
I really appreciate these lessons. I was a classical flutist in high school and decided not to pursue a career in music. so I never learned a lot of music theory, only enough to read advanced flute music.since then I've done a lot of vocal work, sometimes reading music, sometimes learning Harmony's from RUclips for particular songs, sometimes improvising. I really appreciate the music theory and your lessons. Thank you!
I’ve struggled to sing harmonies throughout 2 years of college and I never really got it until I watched this video. Thanks man, this made my life so much easier.
Oh god the satisfaction coming from being able to sing the harmony while hearing your main line is inexplicable. Thank you so much for making this video and everything you do, you make learning easy and fun. You dont know how much you helped me understand music better, every video of yours I learn something more. Thank you so much. Great great creator!
BEAUTIFUL and wise way of teaching/learning. I feel the music while learning and practicing at the same time that's so important at teaching and learning for me. I am forever grateful, thanks.
Saher, I want to thank you very, very much. I can harmonize by ear, but it is so nice to be taught the theory behind it. Also it opens the door for many, many other options. I was bored with my cookie cutter harmony & as my girlfriend & I write music, it is so important because our original sound obviously makes or breaks the song.
I have watched quite a few videos on harmonizing and usually they just taught how to find a major third above the melody, so whenever I tried to harmonize, I failed miserably or just kept on singing major third intervals all the time. Thank you so much for this video! It's the first that worked for me and made my singing more confident!
i find myself able to sing harmony without any reference once you give me the harmony, because I remember immediately, but I can't seem to find any harmony on my own if i just listen to the melody by myself.. what should i do to improve finding a harmony??
I was the same way, all I can tell you is the more you do it the better you get. However, now I'm stuck in a hole where I sing what I enjoy rather than what sounds better so the harmony normally sounds more like a minor chord
Download a piano app. Play one key with the music. Eventually you will find one that works... then once you toy around with it youll find other keys to add. Work on finding one note that can be held then when you are ready try to add two or more. 3rds and 5th are your friends.
Amanda Liu Yes, pianos/keyboards will help to visualize and remember the sound of the intervals (a major 3rd or perfect 5th or whatever). There are also ear-training apps available. Thirdly, sing along with songs that use basic harmony vocal lines like those in very early Beatles tracks, where it's just two or three people singing together. Try to pick out the melody and the harmony part(s). Lastly, play a simple melody on another instrument or record yourself singing and harmonise it yourself. Best of luck!
Please continue. I am a guitar player and have kind of been doing this for years on the guitar. This video helped to explain what was really happening. As an aspiring songwriter this video has opened my mind to (for me) new ideas and possibilities. Thanks.
I've found it's very helpful to actually swap the visualized notes with the audible ones. So if the visualization shows the lower note, sing the upper and vice versa to help the reverse association
My goodness this video is amazing! It's intuitive for people that don't understand music theory, it's amazing for those who do, and I finally was able to harmonize by myself!!!
I actually learned how to harmonize on 4th grade without learning how to do it, I only need to know the melody part. I've been using the thirds technique without knowing it exists for 5 years! I helped around 5 people learn how to blend through hearing only, but it wasn't technical learning, and you have to consistently harmonize even in audio songs to not forget how to harmonize.
this is the best video so far (together with your first video). your video makes a lot of sense and with fact. i have seen other vocal harmony tutorials and none really emphasize on the importance of learning it from the basic, which is to sing on the 3rd (most basic and ear pleasing). thank you so much!
Your bar visuals really helped me with my conception of music in dimensional construct. I have sang my whole life but I'm trying to learn to write and sing with others who understand the musical notations...I'm struggling but you are super helpful! Thank you!
Excellent teaching of the concepts of harmony! I just fell in love with the technical aspects that we can follow using simple math and the music theory!
Thank you so much for these videos! I thought I was a lost cause, but in about a month's time from watch these two videos (part 1&2), I can harmonize almost instantly without even thinking about it. Just trying to learn to harmonize lower now, though I've only started, so I have some ways to go for that part.
I was a little confused at first but still very determined. But as soon as you introduced the numbers I was in tune right away!! That was so perfect! Thank you!!
Got Saher's V60 program.Absolutely brilliant, amazing and 1st class. Totally recommend V60. I am on day 10, learned a lot more, increased my range and got familiar with relevant expressions. I can't wait for the next lesson. Its 5 Star training guys and the value of it is equal to 1 session of my previous teacher (£55). Saher keeps you motivated like a coach throughout this long journey! thanks, Saher
Please do make another harmony video. I love your teaching style. You've explained it in a way that makes it just click in my head! Like when you're staring at a math problem that's you'll just never get until it clicks. I wish I'd had you as my hs music theory teacher. I thought I was never in my life gonna get it! Thanks 😃
Love the content man great explanation and great examples. It was laid out in an engaging and externally understandable way. Definitely a great way to learn and understand the reason to use certain harmonies. And a rad way practice singing them. Great job man !
Yes I would love for you to do a video for singers who have been singing Harmony their whole life. I have been singing Harmony by ear since I was literally in kindergarten but I do not have a broad palette as you described it. I could arrange a four-part southern gospel song in my sleep as well as write Barbershop tags all day. But if you ask me to come up with an arrangement similar to a Take 6 arrangement I would be lost.
Thanks again Saher for a great instructional video. I learn things better when I can see them described rather than just hear them, so it is extra helpful seeing all the graphics describing what is happening. Once again love your calm voice and manner. Thanks for all the trouble you have taken to produce such a great video.
Dude!!! This is so Amazing. Thank you so much for this!!!! I'm in tears right now. This is the thing I've wanted for so long.. this video.. so glad I finally found out about you! Much love from India! ❤️✨
These has been the best hormony classes I've ever had! Like seriously! You are amazing Men! keep feeding us some more advance harmony videos please. hehe! (From Belize, Central America)
anyone else panicked at 10:18 thinking you had to sing that? i did. hahaha i love these videos, and your voice is very pleasing to listen to. i'm probably gonna go through your entire channel! thanks so much for the best help around. you've really built confidence in me ♥
1:44 advanced harmony means knowing how simple ingredients like relations of notes to each other end up sounding so that you can make music based on knowing that a third relation sounds maybe sweet while a 1st interval is disonant like playing two notes right 1 step from each other.= experience
Very interesting to see you mention how every harmony evokes a specific emotion. Could you do a video elaborating on that? Harmonies and the respective emotions that they create?
Love your video. I always thought I sang good harmony, but this helps even more!! Thank you for your instructions. They are very clear and give the added practice that is needed. Many thanks. Sandy PS Keep them coming!
Thank you for this! I need to know and teach this kind of stuff very soon. I love how well everything is laid out, and plan on purchasing skype lessons soon!
great vid. your a good teacher and your voice like silk. Just beautiful. Thanks for putting this up. I always thought harmonies were so complicated but your've have made easy. Thanks again.
Thanks for giving an easy way to harmonize. At last it makes sense to me! Yes. I would like to get more texture and complexity into the harmonizing, if you can go on. Thanks.
Definitely very helpful. I was always unsure on how to write harmonies, so I tend to just stick with the lead melody (obviously it left the vocals sounding a little lacking), but I'll definitely be using these techniques in the future. I will admit though; while I didn't have trouble with the exercises, that "trailing scale" at 5:20 is pretty tricky to pull off...
I've been wanting to get better at harmonizing and am very glad i found your channel these really help me (even if they are like 3 years old the info is still awesome)
Ok im not a good singer, but i love to do it anyway... allways had difficulty on harmonizing to the songs i hear, but this video was brilliant! It shed a light on the hole thing for me.. props man, great work!
I'm so interested in your story. Like how you learned all this. Also, you should do a documentary because it's pleasant and naturally captivating to listen to.
Thank you so much for your sharing and patient teaching :D! It really helped me from knowing nothing about harmony until I can actually follow the notes, so surprised!
Thank you very much, now thanks to you I can harmonize songs easily because your simple explanation it really changed my perception about this topic. 💕
*I feel like I owe you money just for watching this video, thank you!!!!!!*
Focus on me
Share this video and get him more views 😁
"you sung through all the thirds" but did i really
selsab hahahaha
😂😂
:D
Ha...exactly😆😕
Same question I ask myself 😂

+Martina Gifford I'm so happy to have helped. :)
Thank you so much! I am a music professor with a doctorate in music theory and composition and I have never seen a more clear and helpful instructional tool for vocal harmonization. This is so concise and enlightening. I appreciate your sharing this
this is so difficult. I'm like: rhAaaaa, RRRhaaaa, RhaaaA, WhoaaaaaOooo

This might be the first video of anything I learned just from watching off the bat. Pure magic
This is the only video on RUclips that teaches harmonization in the easiest way. Saher Galt, a very good teacher indeed.
This is the fourth video I've watched on this topic, and easily the most informative. Thank you!
I'd love to see more advanced stuff... Everything you've done so far is gold, thank you!!
I have a pretty good voice. Recently I’ve been learning to sing with a group. When I sing alone I’m fine, but I’ve always struggled when I sang with others. Thank you for an amazing and informative video. This was exactly what I needed!
Kind of surprised to see such low views on a great video :O
+TheCheungDan same
+TheCheungDan it is because its a very specific topic and not many people search for this kind of videos
+Simple y sencillamente Alan yep, i guess only a few people interested in harmonizing.
give it time
141k not enough for ya;)

You're videos are the BEST. The editing....I completely understand everything what you said and you don't use any boring talks or intros. I love it

You dont know how much you helped me understand music better, every video of yours I learn something more. Thank you so much. Great great creator!

I feel the music while learning and practicing at the same time
that's so important at teaching and learning for me.

it helps very much to have a keyboard by yourside.
I can attest.
I was the same way, all I can tell you is the more you do it the better you get. However, now I'm stuck in a hole where I sing what I enjoy rather than what sounds better so the harmony normally sounds more like a minor chord

i spent 2 hours looking for the formula for transposing notes for harmonies, you did it with such simplicity, my project im working thanks you, jws..
I love the way you teach, I am getting better, never sing before but will help at church. Thanks for your classes
I've found it's very helpful to actually swap the visualized notes with the audible ones. So if the visualization shows the lower note, sing the upper and vice versa to help the reverse association
This video is so underappreciated
My goodness this video is amazing! It's intuitive for people that don't understand music theory, it's amazing for those who do, and I finally was able to harmonize by myself!!!

What a great way to explain a complex process so quickly and directly with no bull.... Awesome!!
again, I love how you break it down slowly and guide us step by step. Please keep publishing! Bravo
Your bar visuals really helped me with my conception of music in dimensional construct. I have sang my whole life but I'm trying to learn to write and sing with others who understand the musical notations...I'm struggling but you are super helpful! Thank you!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on harmonizing. Needed this soooo much.
Excellent teaching of the concepts of harmony! I just fell in love with the technical aspects that we can follow using simple math and the music theory!
Thank you for putting this video about harmony singing together. I'd love to hear more about advanced harmonisation. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for these videos! I thought I was a lost cause, but in about a month's time from watch these two videos (part 1&2), I can harmonize almost instantly without even thinking about it.

I appreciate the visual cues at the same time the sound is played. Very cool! I think I'm learning something here.

I've been singing in choirs for more than ten years now, and your exercice is still difficult to me x)) I love it!!!
Your approach is so clear and informative. Excellent.
I am now going to watch part 3, thanks Saher.
Please do make another harmony video. I love your teaching style. You've explained it in a way that makes it just click in my head!

It helps if you can hear it naturally but this explanation was really useful and it helps to see it visually. Looking forward to more videos
I can transfer it to my students way more effectively right after watching this video ! Thanks
Love the content man great explanation and great examples. It was laid out in an engaging and externally understandable way. Definitely a great way to learn and understand the reason to use certain harmonies. And a rad way practice singing them. Great job man !
Найкраще відео! Дуже талановиті пояснення!

I would love to hear some breakdowns of more advanced harmonies. Your videos are some of the best I've seen. Very informative and easy to follow.
Beautiful lessons I could spend hours training with your great videos Hats Off to you Saher !
thanks!
You're the best, man!!!
Brilliant video. Watched 10 videos before I got to this which plainer EXACTLY what I was after . Thanks

This video was excellent. You explained clearly and well. Nicely done, Saher!
