Music reviews of Harmony Singing By Ear

Music Review: Not a great range
Rating: 3 Stars

I really liked most things about this CD. Her voice is very calm and she does an overall great job of teaching Upper Harmony vocals. In fact, the first CD is pretty flawless.

However, I really wanted to work on the lower harmonies (alto range) and was really looking forward to the Lower Harmony CD. The range on the first CD was great--she even worked on UUH (Upper Upper Harmonies) but they were all within the range I could hit. I was worried about lower harmonies if she kept at that range, but figured she would shift once we worked on the lower keys.

That didn't happen. She starts on a low note each time--lower than the typical songs, I think. The Lower Harmonies ended up being too low, and I often felt like a foghorn. The range is much lower than the typical alto range (in my opinion.) She mentioned that lower harmonies were harder to learn, and when I found that I couldn't hit some of those notes, I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't keep practicing them. They were really REALLY low at times. I had to put the CD away.

Overall, this is great for learning harmony basics, but if you're looking for lower harmony practice, you might want to get a supplemental aid somewhere, unless you have a nice base voice.

Description of Harmony Singing By Ear

Harmony Singing By Ear: A step by step approach for learning how to sing harmonies above and below a melody. Three CDs totaling three 1/2 hours of instructional narrative, fully produced music tracks and guide vocals. One, two or more singers can learn two and three-part harmony singing. Vocal coach Susan Anders has successfully used these methods for over twenty years with pop, R&B, folk, rock and country singers.

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 fully produced 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 one or two other parts. 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 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's a supplementary section of exercises to build one's harmonizing skills. The songs range in style from pop to R&B to folk to modern rock to jazz.
