    💡 Tip: Thirds are one of the most common starting points for vocal harmonies, but the best harmony note depends on the key, chord progression, melody, and desired sound. A harmony that works over one chord may clash when the underlying chord changes.
    Example: If the melody is singing C4 and you choose a Major 3rd, the calculator will find E4 as the harmony note.

  • A Vocal Harmony Finder can help singers, songwriters, vocal arrangers, and producers find potential harmony notes for a melody. By selecting a melody note and a harmony interval, you can quickly see which note could be sung above or below the original melody.

    Some of the most common vocal harmonies are built using thirds, fifths, and sixths. For example, if the melody sings C and the harmony uses a major third, the harmony note would be E. However, the correct harmony isn't always the same interval throughout an entire song because the underlying chord and key can change.

    A good vocal harmony should generally work with the chord being played underneath the melody. Simply moving every melody note by the same number of semitones can sometimes create notes that clash with the chord progression.

    It's also important to consider vocal range when creating harmonies. A harmony may work perfectly from a music theory perspective but still be difficult for a singer to perform comfortably. You may need to move the harmony up or down an octave to keep it within a practical singing range.

    Tip: Start with thirds when experimenting with harmonies, then try sixths, fifths, and octaves to create different sounds. For more advanced arrangements, experiment with changing the harmony interval as the chords change instead of keeping the exact same interval throughout the song.
