Will and the kids sing three-part bluegrass harmony for Blue Ridge Cabin Home in Key of Bb. Will - Lead. Dominic - Tenor. Veronica - High Baritone. This song was famously recorded by the Bluegrass Album Band as track one on their first album. In their legendary recording, Tony Rice sang lead; Doyle Lawson, tenor; and J.D. Crowe, baritone. Here's the recording: • Blue Ridge Cabin Home
And here's Flatt and Scruggs' recording: • Blue Ridge Cabin Home

Hi, I have a question, do you and your children learn the music by listening to it online, by listening to it on an instrument or by sight singing it, or a mix, or a different method? Your music is beautiful, by the way! And may God bless you!

I was in a band years ago. I learned harmonies by closely listening to the parts and then picking harmony notes above (tenor) and below (baritone) the melody. It takes practice and experience.

Bluegrass harmony is literally impossible. I don't understand it at all and watching instructional videos like this make it even more confusing somehow. It's impossible for me to sing with someone else and sing something different from what they're singing

Friend. Before you give up 😮 Here is an amazing link I found, which takes it slow and does a great job of explaining it, with good sound quality. So you can sing along too. It even helped me, and I’m entirely useless! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4OZY6qjaJuYa7M Hope it helps. 🎉

Beginning to learn harmony is admittedly difficult. To start, try singing just two parts. Have someone sing the root (say middle C), and someone sing a third above (E), which is the third note in the scale. Just both sing "ah." See if you can each hold the note and hear the resonance of the harmony. Then try having the second singer move from the third note of the scale to the fourth note of the scale (F). The harmonies will change but will no suggest a new chord (the 4th chord or F chord). Then have the second singer return from the fourth (F) to the third (E). All the while the first singer should stay on the root (middle C). Give it a try! Then you gradually build out from there.

very impressive talented group but I know absolutely nothing more about HOW to learn to sing harmony than I did before. As a guitar player I've always faked it by singing a chord tone I was playing on the guitar.. It would be nice to learn what you guys are doing, How do we start and what do we practice?

As the video I linked explains, if you're trying to come up with your own harmony parts, start with the melody of the song and then look for the harmony note above (for the tenor) and below (for the baritone). In every chord, there are three harmony notes. For the G chord it's the G (first note of the scale), B (3rd) , and D (5th). And for any major chord, it will be the first, third, and fifth notes of the scale, with the first note of the scale changing to the note of the chord you're playing. Admittedly, it's a bit of challenge to start arranging your own harmony parts, which is why I recommend trying to imitate the notes we're singing in the video.
