How to Start Singing Harmony

If you can sing the melody of a song and you’re curious about harmonizing - that’s an exciting step forward! Harmony is a skill that builds on strong pitch control and good listening, and it develops gradually over time.

Singing harmony means singing a different note than the main melody, while still fitting the song. The harmony supports the melody and blends with it, instead of competing with it.

If you’re already comfortable singing the melody, you’ve built the most important foundation - great job 👏

Here are a few beginner-friendly ways to train your ear and ease into harmonizing:

The better you know the melody, the easier it is to hold a different note at the same time. Try singing the melody until it feels automatic.

🎯 Why this helps: Harmony is much harder if you’re still “searching” for the melody in your head.

If the song has backing vocals, listen closely and try to follow just one harmony line instead of all of them at once. Even copying a short phrase is great practice.

Try listening to the bass and singing along with it. Holding the bass in your ear while imagining the melody creates a strong foundation for understanding harmony.

Record yourself singing a new harmony over the melody and listen back. This helps you check whether the note fits - and you’ll often hear improvement faster than you expect 🎙️

Right now, the app’s main focus is helping you sing the melody accurately - and that’s by design.

Strong pitch control and a clear sense of melody are the foundation of harmony singing. As your accuracy improves and your ear develops, harmonizing becomes much more natural and intuitive over time 😊

Learning to harmonize takes time, but every step you take - improving pitch, listening closely, and experimenting - brings you closer. If you can sing melody confidently, you’re already well on your way.
