By Ear Harmony Singing I with Leela Grace
2024 COVID protocolsHave you every wondered how harmonies work? Leela is here to help demystify the beautiful puzzle of harmonizing by ear! With a patient, light-hearted approach, Leela will help you discover the power of voices raised in harmony. We will practice the fundamentals of two- and three-part harmony using by-ear techniques. You don’t need any harmonizing or singing experience to join this class. The class offers introductory “functional theory” on singing and harmonizing and then we put that understanding into practice by learning songs by ear. Every singer learns the melody and harmony parts for each song — utilizing a “call and response” method. We learn to understand harmonies and how they work by SINGING songs from Appalachian old time to contemporary folk to old country. Build your confidence, strengthen your voice, and have FUN! All abilities and experience levels are welcome. Come explore the possibilities! Making music makes your life better, regardless of “talent.”

"Leela is an incredibly fun and inspiring voice teacher. Her love for singing and for encouraging developing singers has shown amazing results in the classes I have taken...This is without a doubt one of the most fun things I do each week, and my voice (and my confidence) have gone from not EVER singing - not even in the shower, to being able to hold the melody as well as sing either high or low harmony parts, and I am beginning to be able to find my own harmonies outside of class. Her banjo and guitar playing and choice of music make this class a winner all the way around." -- student
