0:03:05 > 0:03:06Yeah!

0:03:06 > 0:03:07Yeah!

0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah!

0:03:09 > 0:03:10- Sweet.- We did it!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12I thought that was great.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25# Dancing in the light of your love

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Hey, guys.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45As you can tell, we were just working out some harmonies.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47That's what we're going to do in Lessons In The Lounge today,

0:03:47 > 0:03:49is talk a little bit about harmonies

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- and how complicated they really are...- Yeah.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54..and how much you really have to listen to your own voice and...

0:03:54 > 0:03:57You have to sort of, like, block out the other harmonies

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- so that you can find your own note. - Yeah.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01And at the same time you also have

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- to hear what everyone else is singing.- Yeah.- Yeah.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05It was really weird cos when I first started,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07like, leaning how to sing harmonies,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09I thought that this would be a better idea,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12but this actually is such a worse idea.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Cos, yes, you might be blocking out other people's voices

0:04:14 > 0:04:17- and hearing your own... - You have no idea what's going on.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19..but you can't hear what everybody else is doing,

0:04:19 > 0:04:21which is so important. So it, obviously,

0:04:21 > 0:04:23did not end up working in my favour.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25How do we do harmonies?

0:04:25 > 0:04:29Well, most harmonies are in either thirds or fifths, so...

0:04:29 > 0:04:30SHE PLAYS C

0:04:30 > 0:04:32If we're in C,

0:04:32 > 0:04:34this is a third...

0:04:34 > 0:04:35PLAYS C AND E

0:04:35 > 0:04:36..and then this is a fifth.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38PLAYS C AND G

0:04:38 > 0:04:40And if you're building a chord,

0:04:40 > 0:04:43like when you're playing the piano or if you're on the guitar,

0:04:43 > 0:04:47or doing a three-part harmony, you put all three of them in.

0:04:47 > 0:04:48- So there's your C... - SHE PLAYS C

0:04:48 > 0:04:50- ..and your third and your fifth. - ADDS E AND G

0:04:50 > 0:04:52So it sounds like...

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- SHE PLAYS CHORD - ..that.- Nice.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Doing three-part harmony, it's kind of cool,

0:04:56 > 0:04:58because it's kind of like strumming a chord...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Yeah, or playing the piano with your voice.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Yeah, whoa!- It's really... Voices are incredible.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05And you can figure it out by, if you have a keyboard...

0:05:05 > 0:05:07If you can just pick some notes out on the piano it's...

0:05:07 > 0:05:08SHE PLAYS THREE NOTES

0:05:08 > 0:05:10- That simple.- ..that simple.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- I guess that's it for today.- Yeah. - Thank you, guys, for watching...

0:05:12 > 0:05:14I hope you learned about harmonies.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Yeah, I hope you guys learned about harmonies.
