Having trouble making the chords in your vocal arrangements sound rich and resonant? There's a few guidelines you can follow to make each chord ring out strongly! So, in this episode, we explain the "harmonic series", the physical property of sound that makes this happen, and look at how to structure the notes in the chords so that each part will strengthen the overall sound.
Choir With Knut is your number one resource for learning how to arrange for choral and a cappella groups! Through informative videos, you’ll learn about the voice types, how to structure a vocal arrangement or composition, how to go about arranging for voices/singing as opposed to other instruments, and all sorts of related topics, tricks and tips!
