I grew up in rural Southwest Virginia in a little community called Emory. I have always loved music and making things. I am a retired elementary music teacher and currently enjoy teaching private music lessons, leading community singing and creating interactive music exhibits in my music garden. I hope to share these creations with the larger community.

chordal harmonies for Hallelujah
Today's lesson gives you practice sight singing chordal harmonies in C major with the chorus from Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah". The chord progression is Am F Am F C G C. Here is a YouTube of Leonard Cohen singing the song with a chorus joining on the hallelujahs. Listen to this first if you have never heard the song or if you only know it from the movie "Shrek".
