A beginner's guide to Vocal Harmony

As amateur or semi-professional singers, we all are curious about the vocal harmonies gracefully distilled in Simon & Garfunkel or The Beach Boys pieces for instance.

Such associations are the result of vocal harmony, a science that's as efficient as tricky to perform. Indeed, this technique requires a little bit of knowledge of the music theory (chords, key)... or at least a very good ear.

Vocal harmony consists in doubling the lead vocals, with the same rhythm and most of the time the same lyrics, but on a different note. A vocal harmony usually has a lower volume to make sure it does not disturb the lead vocals.

In order to create a vocal harmony, you need to know the chords of the melody. You can find them by playing the chords on your favorite instrument (or find them online). These chords are made of several notes together.

Most of the time, the chord is made of 3 notes together : the fundamental, the third (4 semi-tones above, 3 if the chord is minor) and the fifth (7 semi-tones above). For instance, an F would have F as a fundamental, an A as a third and C as a fifth. Doing a vocal harmony for an F will then be about singing an A to get the third or a C for the fifth.

By extension, a G chord is composed of a G, a B (third) and a D (fifth). To harmonize the lead vocals in G, you can either sing the B or the D.

This is just a basic harmony, and many of them can be found to create a richer harmony. However, this technique is a first step towards more complicated patterns (and you probably won't need to get there to find a great harmony).

In addition, training your ear to recognize and build harmonies is necessary to master this technique. Indeed, karaoke is an ideal way to do so, allowing you to add your voice on top of the lead vocals and try different patterns according to your taste and mood.

A look back on Eurovision!

Every year in May, the Eurovision Song Contest is back with surprising songs, extravagant costumes and stage performances that only this musical competition can bring.

Let's step back in time and review the songs that everybody remembers from Eurovision over the last 58 years: This song made popular by the Swedish band won the competition in 1974 and took over the world, being number 1 in many Europeans countries, and entering the top 10 in the United States. This song by Israeli Pop singer Dana International, is still remembered as being the first and only winning song performed by a transgender artist. With this song, Céline Dion, at that time not as famous as she is now, won the competition in 1988 for Switzerland. This rock song, quite unusual in the musical landscape of Eurovision, was the only one that brought Finland a victory. Winner of last year's competition, Only Teardrops rapidly became a huge success in its home country, Denmark. This Swedish song won the competition in 2012, with a total of 372 points, the second highest score ever reached since the beginning of the contest. This ballad, single French winning song in 58 years of Eurovision, was a great success through Europe, and was sung in French, English, German, Spanish and Portuguese. White and Black Blues is the second song written by the French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg entering the competition. It allowed France to rank second in 1990. Luxembourg representative in 1965, this song written by Serge Gainsbourg was translated in more than 18 languages, including Arabic, Russian, Swedish and even Japanese.
