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.

hearing chord changes
A good way to prepare for singing harmonies is to listen for the chord changes in a song. If you can hear when the chords change then you are ready to try singing some simple harmonies by singing chord tones. Today's lesson gives you practice doing this with "Down in the Valley" in the key of G. The only chords in this song are I and V7.
