Pretty eye opening! 👀

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a Jeep I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.”

The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”

The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.”

The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep. The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.”

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you......Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

Singing Harmony for the First Time

Quite often friends enjoy singing together and they’d like to learn how to sing harmony. I’ll try to break this down into steps to follow in the easiest way I can.
1. Learn the Melody first. By that I mean what the lead Singer is singing.
If you know the melody in your head you know if it is moving up down or staying on the same note.
2. Pick a note below the melody that sound good with it and is not too far away so there is a nice blend. How to find that note? Play the chord and figure out which note in the chord the melody is singing. Lets use the third so you the Harmony Singer would sing the Root. For example if the Chord is a C chord then the Root is a C the third is an E and the 5th is a G. Start at C and count up the Alphabet to G. CDEFG 12345. One is the Root 3 is the 3rd 5 is the 5th.
3. A little bit of theory will go a long way when trying to figure out which note to sing.
4. For an experiment drone on that low C note while the melody is singing and when it doesn’t sound good to stay on that note any more move either up or down. You will have to move, when the chord changes, to a note that is in that chord. Use your ears and listen you will be able to hear when it works and sounds good and when it doesn’t.
5. If the melody makes a big jump down and lands on the note you are singing and you can’t sing any lower step up a few notes above the melody until the melody moves up again and you can move back down below the melody. That can be referred to as a cross over.
6. Another friend has arrived and she wants to sing harmony as well. When there is more than one Background Singer you can sing the lyrics if you match up your words exactly or sing ooh’s and Ah’s and if you are just starting out that might be easier.
7. What note does she sing? If she has a really high voice then she will probably have to find a note above the melody. If she has a low voice she can pick a note below yours. Using the example above she would sing the G or the 5th either above or below depending on her range.
8. Three parts are much trickier but they sound amazing. Take one line at a time and find the best blend. You may have to switch parts to get the best blend. Again use your ears and listen!
9. Try not to land on each other’s notes, try not to sing Octaves: the same note an Octave apart. An Octave is 8 letter names above CDEFGABC or below. by the way the Musical Alphabet stops after G and starts all over again at A. There is no HIJKLMNOP……
10 . Singing UNISON means singing the same notes and you can do that instead of singing Harmony at various times throughout a piece of music if you choose to do so.

Have fun and experiment!
