First you hear thethree (or four) voices blending together then you hear each harmony part sung separately. You learn your part by singing along with us. We sing several songs in three different keys so no matter what your vocal range you can tryyour hand at singing the lead part. Sometimes the men (Bill Chris) take the lead; sometimes the women (Murphy Janet) take the lead. With three keys to choose from you can also find a harmony part to suit yourvoice.Along the way we offer some helpful hints such as 'What key do I sing in?' 'How do I find my harmony part?' and 'How can I get a good blend?' At the very end Murphy and Bill break out their banjos for a rousing quartetversion of 'Over in the Gloryland.' Very entertaining!If you've been wondering how to sing harmony we've made it as easy as possible. Or as we say in Virginia 'It's as easy as pie.'
