Aimee: “You gotta hold onto this note like your life depended on it.” Choir Altos: “Hold my beer.”

[@hectormayoral443]

Oh my god xD

[@athaya2992]

BYEEEEEE

[@johnstephenchessman8708]

I searched "Why I Cant Harmonize" and this video title is "Everyone Can Harmonize"

[@Jefferson-ly5qe]

I sing all my harmonies in fifths just to make Bach roll in his grave.

[@aidanmccormack5443]

Jefferson Allan Lol!

[@TheseusTitan]

Jefferson, cool - I like it

[@zjokka]

I always thought it was Beethoven who got rolled over!

[@szabowitch]

:D

[@razzo2538]

It’s OK he can’t hear you anyways

[@martinfredstrom9925]

This is really good basic instruction on how to start harmonizing. You might find it interesting to know that this almost exactly how I teach beginners to "street" or "woodshed" a song. In summary, its 3 simple instructions: 1)Learn the melody first, since you can't harmonize to an unknown melody. 2)Find a note that works and then DON'T move until you feel you absolutely HAVE to 3) when you do move, move the SHORTEST possible distance. Rinse and repeat :) This method can be used for multiple (at least 3) harmony parts both above and below the melody line, assuming the singer can at least find their own first unique starting note.

[@AimeeNolte]

+Martin Fredstrom I think you're a genius. 😍

[@samdavid4353]

hey martin sir ... can you plz teach me ... its a request

[@saintphormula]

Thanks for the insight sir. How I wish I get in contact with you. You seem to know a lot 🙏🙏

[@Canadianforestfairy]

Is there an app that can tell you which your unique starting note is if you are unsure

[@stevieG.]

@@Canadianforestfairy You don't need an app you just trust your subconscious inner ear to produce where it wants you to go

[@porgie808]

"SUUUU-per boring..." haha! your expression!

[@felitiabrown1246]

Never heard of Hey Jude.....but I'm trying to learn harmonies🤷🏽‍♀️

[@dywili]

when the video started I forwarded a couple of minutes cause I thought she talked to much, later in the video I kept rewinding. I'm definitely re-watching this and subscribing. Damn she's good

[@michikodesu]

I’ve always sang “1st soprano” in choir so I’ve never learned to harmonize. I want to audition for my church’s worship team but knowing how to harmonize on the spot is a requirement. Thank you for this series. I pray this helps!

[@DancingL704]

I’m in the same boat, audition for church coming up 🙏💕🎶

[@nyxculp9290]

Same. I started really listening for the harmonies in songs I know. I can hear them now on any song. I started learning music theory to help. Now when I try to sing harmony, it ebbs and flows like the waves on an ocean. I am excited for the progress I made, and will continue to keep practicing.

[@thebigness71]

Same here. I'm auditioning next week for the worship team. I've never been trained and have only sang lead. Progress is being made and I'm hearing it better. 🤞

[@caroltaylor4282]

Thank you with all my heart. I used to be able to sing complex harmony by ear but it’s like I’ve lost it completely. Singing on a praise team and a small bluesy group is very difficult and I seem to be really struggling. I’m fine and totally able to do the higher and lower harmony in a trio or just in the congregation, but up on the stage with the sound equipment in my ears, I’m dead to harmony. So I will simplify and go with the one note

[@tolfpeck]

This alone just expanded my understanding of music theory in general. Your layman's approach is quite useful and just inspires me to seek out things like this myself. Thank you so much.

[@DSteinman]

Ooh this is a good way to start, gets students listening for the chords before diving into 3rds

[@octrapdaddy3616]

I’ve been teaching myself to sing for maybe like two three years now and harmonizing is like the hardest thing in the world and you just like cracked a code my brain couldn’t comprehend thank you so much 😊 ….

[@xzchc]

If only I could prevent myself from jumping to the notes the melody voice sings. I had such a hard time keeping that middle c in Hey Jude, even when singing along with you... (I had no problem to hear when it sounded good or bad, though.)

[@lowkeynonymous570]

OMG YOU EXPLAINED THIS IN THE EASIEST WAY

[@richardalobi1788]

I love you so much, you have saved me from weekly embarrassment during our choir rehearsals... This video is the answer to my many questions. Often times they expect me to just get it right yet no one explains to me how. Richard from Nigeria.

[@mghtdelete]

liked at the office reference

[@AimeeNolte]

+Gabriel Nielsen finally!! My people! Lol 🙌🏼

[@gregpsalmwriter]

That is freaking genius. First time this has made sense to me after countless video’s.

[@KIDFERDIE]

Thank you. I'm 51 years old and I love to sing harmonies. Today I have learned this simple trick. Nobody taught me this when I was singing in chorus and choir during my younger days! 😀

[@RSProduxx]

i´m so happy i found you, seriously. Although i got to some of this stuff by myself, you help me actually understanding WHAT i´m doing ;) Funny how simple things can be, if someone explains them in the right way. And kinda sad how my teacher in school, who´s job it was, never actually explained anything... Thank you.

[@AimeeNolte]

RSProduxx i'm sorry too. Sometimes teachers get burned out too early. I'm glad you are learning now. Thanks so much for watching and for your nice comments.

[@RSProduxx]

you´re most welcome :)

[@Chip10008]

[@emeraldjonz.]

I was put in a choir and I can't sing. A female who is told to sing tenor. I always feel strange and don't know what I'm supposed to do.you've exp!ained it perfectly. Thanks

[@claramanuella539]

This video was so enlightening, thank you for the tips!

[@joeloesch1219]

Nice simple way to unlock the door, Aimee. Door keys are simple to use! after you find them.

[@carlos-bt4dt]

please do more lessons about how to sing

[@richsanchez622]

Rick Beato sent me here. I’m glad..

[@Guitarplayer724]

From someone who can’t sing his way out of a wet paper bag, I found this video highly fascinating and enjoyable. Thanks!

[@kemarly3884]

Am a artist trying to record a special song, and it helped me thanks, love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤ 💕...

[@mettelyngholm4541]

Thanx for this. I learned a lot

[@nan3271]

Brilliant! My kind of teacher. Thank you very much.

[@mandoguitarsongs3151]

"But, what about those of you who can't do it...and there's a lot of you..." lol, too funny. Great videos, thank you.

[@AimeeNolte]

Thanks James!

[@kaptnkirk2740]

I am excited... (begin of video!) I do it like your husband: can sing learned parts and can sing sight-reading if it's not too difficult. But can't sing spontaneous a second voice - especially parallels. After ending the last video, I tell you my progress. 😇

[@clanntara]

Brilliant and thank you. That's the best and easiest to follow "how to harmonise" tuition video I've seen yet on KZbin... and I've watched a lot! 👏

[@francescad6070]

Love this. I sing on our worship team. I am pretty new at it, but I do not know how to sing harmony. This is really helpful

[@Stemma3]

Nice trick. You're using C and D because I IV has C, and V and ii has D. I hate to sing and that's a great approach when you want to "help" with a little harmonization. It made me think "why didn't I think about this before". Great.

[@mikechrissan]

Brilliant as usual!

[@ronharrington228]

Cool trick! Getting “started“ gives me a place to stand when I get lost. Thanks!!!

[@choochoochooseyou]

I'm not musical whatsoever but I stumbled upon your channel and I'm hooked just watching you.

[@AimeeNolte]

[@terryjohinke8065]

Not just great musical knowledge but a great voice Aimee , I thought this was your daughter, beautiful. how lucky is your husband- I'd be playing guitar all night long with you. Such a good way of describing Harmony after many years of transposing ( 55 years ) . LOVE your KZbin videos . Go girl!

[@aksesorishouse7804]

this is the best tutorial to start a harmony at the easiest way! Thanks a bunch Aimee!!!

[@DavidRodriguez-hh1wu]

Well that HELPS ...I have 5 young kids Church music ....and I never sang before

[@johanandre5338]

Love your videos! Keep being awesome!

[@karelvovesnacek5640]

Greetings from Czech Republic. I hope that my English is understodable at least. I´m glad to find your videos. Simple, practical, usefull. They are helping me in many ways - rediscover the power of music (You rather dont play the guitar or sing=it´s terrible!!! My parents, my teachers, etc often use these words. I rather listened to them and stopped singing and playing so that nobody could laugh to me anymore. And I lost my joy for a long time. Now Im almost 50. Im learning to play the ukulele and the guitar, the piano. I learn to sing. I found out that I naturally sing in pitch (But not in the moments when I'm afraid that someone will tell me not to sing, it's a horror! But the more I practise the more I feel and hear that I am able to learn to sing with and for joy, without fear. My family members were very surprised and praised for my singing. And they asked who I was teaching from. :):):) Thank you= I appreciate your teaching. It gave me back the joy of music and healthy self-esteem. Never obey someone who tells you that you are embarrassed and that you do not know anything. It is not true. Your heart will tell you where your joy is. And where your pleasure is, is everything what you really need. This is my personal practical experience.
