    I've mastered singing on 5ths using only my ear right after I hear the melody. I really relate to Tara because I also find the 3rd the hardest because it doesn't fit anywhere in my ear 😂 it's like hearing a different perspective if you know what I'm saying.. root and 5ths are easy (idk why coz of my ear) and 3rd are the hardest because they don't really line up with the actual melody if I'm making sense

    • @joyfuljaj
      @joyfuljaj Pƙed 4 lety +20

      I am too. my example (and typical application) is during Sunday morning singing (with no music in front of me). The people who are able to sing on worship team just "pick a part" to sing. I don't know how to sing anything other than melody with maybe a harmony note stuck in there every once in a while. Even if I manage to find a 5th or 3rd, i know harmonies don't just sing the melody line simply as a 3rd up. This exercise though is good for ear training. I should challenge myself by trying to sing the 3rd, cause I really couldn't hear it well.

    • @LauraSchecki
      @LauraSchecki Pƙed 4 lety +10

      If you have a piano, try to figure out, which harmony the song has. It's mostly the first and last tone you can hear in the song (instrument or text). If you get this, you need to figure out if it's moll or dur (I don't know how it's called in English). OR listen to the instruments in the background it's mostly the 'second voice', which you can use to sing as the second voice

    • @juliag3376
      @juliag3376 Pƙed 4 lety +9

      I good way to do it is to look up a harmony for a song, or try and listen to it in a song. Also listening to the melody really helps. Once you get the melody down in a song, try singing higher or lower than the main singer(melody). Practice helps a LOT! I was able to train my ear, and I can do it pretty well now.

    • @JJJohnsom

    I can't read music, I have to learn it all by ear. When in rehearsal I record my alto parts then go away and learn it by listening constantly or whenever I'm able. It works for me. My problem is if I don't have a fellow alto with me, I can't pitch my first note and end up coming in about four notes late. So I have to practice practice practice. I really enjoyed singing along with you guys. Great harmonies.
