Use this to recruit more vocalists | Review by Barb
Ease of use

There are lots of folks out there who would like to sing, but think they can't sing any line other than the melody. This helps vocalists to create better harmonies and gives them confidence in their singing. Better harmonies equal a better sound and a better sound helps recruit new vocalists onto the team. Thanks for this...it has helped in more ways than one!

I bought both dvd ( i did not buy them as a package, but one at the time, since I didn't notice that you had the package deal) It was money well spended, the achievement was great after using these dvd. I loved the idea to put different harmonies for a song and I thank you for the tips you have in there. My hope is that you continue to do more dvd with more songs in the same way you did in these two. I never thought I could do harmony in the worship team, but now I do and I love it! And this because of these amazing dvd.

Clear instruction and opportunities to practice new skills in a "real-time" setting. | Review by AxCarolynC

Ease of use
I loved the way this product allowed my singers virtually take the rest of the worship team home with them. With the backing tracks, and their own part highlighted, it was easy for them to hear and follow, then eventually to hold their own. I started with a team of melody singers and now have more confident harmonizers. All the tips and teaching were very valuable as well. I think Musicademy does an excellent job of preparing worshippers to bring their best to God and His Body and have purchased and used many of their tools.

I bought the Harmony and Backing vocal workout at the beginning of last year because I wanted to learn a bit more about Harmonies as I was working more with my church choir. I found this self tutorial very helpful and a blessing...it made my finding of harmonies very easy and also gave me the confidence to be able to teach the group. I would encourage anyone looking to buy the hormony and backing vocal cd to buy it because it is worth it.

Better then a vocal coach | Review by Leo

Ease of use

Hey there. I recently purchased this product to try and boost the quality of the songs we sing in the church choir.

We've always had problems trying to form suitable harmonies/backing vocals to go along with our excellent selection of lead vocalists.

I've personally tried everything, including the introduction of a vocal coach to help the entire group, but this only seemed to confuse things.

Then I came across this product and it seemed appropriate to pretty much exactly what I needed.

By following the easy to use instructions given out on the DVD's I've managed to transform our church choir into a garden of awe. People have recently begun to go to church just to hear our praises whereas before they didn't (or so I've been told anyway).

The backing vocalists all want to say a personal thanks for creating this workshop, it's really helped them to become better harmonisers and has given them such an in-depth knowledge of this subject.

Easy to Use and included songs we use in worship | Review by Nyla

Ease of use
I have been singing in church for several years, but have had a hard time picking out the harmonies and feeling confident singing them so I have stuck with the melody. With the tracks being separated out I was able to hear the harmony more clearly and practice it "with training wheels" in a sense. I also appreciated that you used songs I was already familiar with and ones we use in worship in our church. Very helpful!
