New thing—CREATE HARMONY!!!!
This was something that I learned as a child and every now and again I meet someone who just has NO IDEA how to harmonize. I really thought it was a gift everyone had!
Then I realized, to create HARMONY in this world, you have to TEACH how to get there ! Not as easy as it sounds. Yet, since this IS the year of doing NEW things, I decided to give a 3 minute lesson to one my very best friends, on the art of singing harmony. I had him pick one of his favorite songs, and I would do my best to show him….. well, at least how to stick to his own note. I sang harmony and was just grateful if he could stay on the melody. Sometimes before you can graduate to harmony, you have to be pretty confident you can sing the melody. So, I gave it my all as a teacher, and whether or not the lesson sticks with him, I know these 3 chords are stuck in MY head for many years to come…..As for YOUR new thing today? well, notice songs today that have that awesome sound of harmony, and try to sing along…….hopefully it will sound better than…..this…
