Another requested song: Man of Sorrows' harmony tutorial for the chorus and the bridge.

[Video] Hillsong United - Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)

Filming at a new setting! In an especially good mood today, so here's a peek at my bedroom. Here's the tutorial for "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" chorus and bridge. A pretty complicated tutorial, so do keep practicing! This song was requested a couple of times on our site, so I'm finally getting down to recording my suggested harmony. All in all a really beautiful track from Hillsong United!

[Video] Hillsong - You'll Come

Here's the harmony tutorial for the chorus and bridge. Sung as closely to the original key as possible, hence it is not exactly very comfortable for my voice. I hope this has been useful to you!

[Video] Hillsong - Stronger

Apologies for the key that is quite uncomfortable for me, but I wanted to sing it as closely to the original key as possible in order for you to be able to practice the harmony part with the original track!

[Video] Hillsong Live - Endless Light

[Video] Paul Baloche - Your Name

Here's the harmony tutorial for the chorus of Paul Baloche's 'Your Name', with piano accompaniment. It's an off-beat harmony that repeats for the first 3 lines of the chorus, and then finishes off with another harmony line for the last line!

Practice hard!

Love,
Louisa

[Video] Hillsong Live - Cornerstone

Here's the harmony tutorial for the Chorus of "Cornerstone".

I've completely fallen in love with this recently released album "Cornerstone" from Hillsong Live, and my favourite song would be "I Surrender".

Get your copy of "Cornerstone" on iTunes!

[Video] Hillsong - Love like Fire

Song: Hillsong - Love Like Fire

Getting a little rusty from producing these videos after not producing for a long time! Here's the harmony tutorial for the second verse (before the first chorus), pre-chorus and chorus.

I wanna know if the added demonstration at the end (the part where I demonstrate singing the harmony with my pre-recorded melody) is more effective in helping you observe/listen to the blending of the melody and harmony. Do let me know!

Love and more,
Louisa

Song: Hillsong - Mighty to Save

Here's the harmony tutorial for the Chorus & the Bridge. It may get pretty challenging at the bridge, and I also sound like I'm straining, which I am because the song's in a guy-friendly key haha. Have fun!

Cheers,
Louisa

Song: Hillsong - God is Able

Here's the harmony part for the chorus & the bridge, I am so sorry I promised the verse but I totally forgot about it while I was recording!

I hope the tutorial's not too fast and it'll be helpful to those trying to harmonise with this song.

[Video] Lincoln Brewster - Love the Lord

Song: Lincoln Brewster - Love the Lord

We sound like we're hurrying to catch a last train, and apologies for the guitar (a Taylor) which sounds horrible here because of my mic which isn't very good at picking up live music.

This song's quite simple to harmonise, but the main problem with it is that every note has to be extremely precise or it'll just sound like a mess!

Have a listen, and try it out first! (Considering our practice with "This is my Desire", I don't think you really, really need me to split the part and the melody before you can try this out right?)

Meld away!

In Loving Memory of Mummy (1952 - 2011)

Song: Hillsong - Believe

This is a song dedicated to our mum who passed away on 18 September. She was one who declared God's truth (loudly) in every situation, be it good of bad and in every prayer she made. Her favourite one-word response to every piece of good news or comment was always, "Good!"

Through this song, 'Believe' we choose to say that God is still good and even in dark moments, He is strong enough in our weakness and we believe that He knows best.

Thanks for listening!

(Thank you Thomas for helping us with the guitar!)

[Video] Hillsong - Adonai

Song: Hillsong - Adonai



Here's the harmony video tutorial for Adonai. It is a mix of the melody & harmony line so it might get extremely confusing (or you might end up singing the melody without realising...) A full harmony-only part sounds really awkward... hence the mixed-harmony part. Please replay to hear the part over and over.

Be sensitive to what you're singing, and remember to listen to yourself. If you're using an iphone, record yourself (i.e. using the voice memo function under 'Utilities') and play it back to know how your voice texture really sounds like when recorded. With that, you can really improve your breathing technique/pitching!

God Bless!

Cheers,
Louisa
______________________________________

The chorus of 'Adonai' uses mostly the third-down harmony. Not every word needs to be harmonised though. The focus and beauty of the Harmony come at the swell - "For the world will FADE AWAY, still my song TO YOU REMAINS", in which the harmony really brings out the lyrics and message of the song at that point.

Cheers,
Lynette

[Video] Hillsong - Hosanna

Song: Hillsong - Hosanna

Here's a little demo how the melody with 1-part of harmony should sound like!

Video tutorial coming soon!

Be blessed!

______________________________

Hi, this is us appearing for the first time together in a video. The song 'Hosanna' is the first song which we will cover in the Vocal Harmony lesson as both the chorus and the bridge use a simple third-down harmony 95% of the time. (Only the last line of the Chorus and the lower notes of the Bridge uses some fourth-down harmony.)

Do remember that in singing parts, it is not fundamentally about memorising an alternative tune. Memorisation without sensitivity to the harmony of the individual notes may just result in you composing an alternative melody (which is not what you are aiming for).

Cheers,
Lynette
