Are there differences between this and your Sing Harmonies Iphone App?
More Harmony Singing by Ear and the Sing Harmonies Iphone App are complimentary learning tools with some notable differences. The Sing Harmonies app helps you to learn and polish your vocal harmony by playing and muting individual voices while playing 4- part vocal arrangements of Lean On Me, Teach Your Children and Proud Mary--these songs are also on More Harmony Singing by Ear. Please note that the vocal arrangement for Lean On Me on the app is slightly different than the arrangement on More Harmony Singing by Ear. Since on the app you can mix which vocals are audible, it's an invaluable tool for strengthening your harmonizing skills. More Harmony Singing by Ear teaches you how to harmonize on your own as well as teaching you the harmony parts for several songs. So the Sing Harmonies app teaches you harmony parts with an innovative method, and More Harmony Singing by Ear teaches you how to find your own harmony parts. If you are a bass singer and want to learn bass vocal parts, you'll find those on the Sing Harmonies app.

I can do simple harmonies above a melody but that's it: will these CDs help me?
Yes-- these CDs include some simple harmonies above a melody, but progress to more difficult upper and lower harmonies to advance your harmonizing skill.

How much more difficult is this set than Harmony Singing by Ear?
The first three songs are about the same difficulty level as the songs on Harmony Singing by Ear, but then progressively become more difficult. The last two songs, Baby Baby All the Time and Drive My Car, have some advanced intermediate level jazz and seconds harmonies.

Can you give me more details on the song arrangements, keys, etc.?
You'll find those details here.

It's been awhile since I listened to Harmony Singing by Ear-- do I have to review it before using these CDs?
The first song reviews most of what you learned on Harmony Singing by Ear, so you should be fine working with these new songs with out reviewing Harmony Singing by Ear.

I just want to learn some harmony parts without all the instruction.
Skip the instruction tracks and go directly to the music tracks to learn the harmony parts. Shift your speaker balance to hear more of the part you want to learn. See the next answer for more information about that.

I can't pan the speakers on my stereo, can I still use the CDs successfully?
Yes, but you won't be able to completely isolate specific vocal parts. You can listen to the different speakers to hear more or less of your part, or if you can listen on headphone or earbud , pull one headphone or bud off your ear to isolate the parts. Another option is to buy a used, older stereo receiver on ebay since older receivers often have a speaker balance dial-- of course make sure the receiver has a speaker balance dial before you buy it.

Could I see a comparison of Harmony Singing by Ear and More Harmony Singing by Ear?
You'll find that here.

I can't read music and I don't know a thing about music theory.
No music reading is required to use these CDs. However, it is helpful to know a small bit of music theory, which is covered on Harmony Singing By Ear. It would make more sense to start with those CDs first to learn the basics of music theory.

Several of us want to work on this together and then sing our parts without guide vocals.
Music tracks without vocals are included so you can practice any and all parts on your own. One of you will need to sing the melody while the others sing the harmony parts. The starting notes for all the parts are in the CD booklet.

Are any of these songs on any of Susan Anders' other CDs?
Baby, Baby All the Time also is on Singing With Style, without the harmonies. All of the other songs and tracks are new productions.

Can I use this in the car?
Yes, many singers have told us that they only listen to the CDs in the car. You might have difficulty if you want to pan your speakers or repeat instructional sections while driving, though.

Is this something children can use?
Yes, young people age ten and up can benefit from Harmony Singing By Ear, and we've heard from parents of even younger children who liked it. The earlier singers learn harmony singing the easier it is to pick up. However, some younger people may not have the patience to sit through the theory and instructional sections. These singers can still improve their harmonizing skills by learning the individual harmony parts and then singing them with the 3-part tracks. The lyrics for 'Baby Baby All the Time' may not be appropriate for kids, but the other songs should be fine. However, please note that the word 'hell' is in the song 'Teach Your Childrem'.

I'm not sure what my vocal range is so I don't know if I can use the CDs.
You can get a rough idea of the range of each part by listening and then singing along with the "Isolated Vocal Parts" sound sample for "Lean On Me" here. Some of the later songs go lower or higher than these samples, but you'll get a decent idea. Remember that you can also sing any part an octave higher or lower to fit your range. How to do that is explained in the audio sample 'Singing an octave above or below a part'.
