Music Discovery

Harmony

Listen For

  • When one voice starts alone, then a second voice joins singing a DIFFERENT note

  • The moment all characters sing together at the end -- each on a different note

  • How some note combinations feel warm and resolved, while others feel like they want to move

Try This

  • Sing 'ahhh' on one note. Have a friend sing on a slightly higher note. If it sounds good, you found harmony!

  • Try singing a song while someone holds one long note underneath. Notice how the held note changes the feeling.
