Hi Guys hope this helps, These are the clips of each so that it just auto repeats (at least it does for me) I use it when I practice? kzread.infoUgkx3JhDI66X1nDV4w056fhpzeFJW6H-ANEk - Harmony Alone kzread.infoUgkxiWuzgXcdooc803-ghZKbf6-GCpnHJjBn - Both kzread.infoUgkxrq2SuGj5hNGCVccexQkOBgwK61LDnyxz - Melody Alone

Oh heck, this video had me in tears as I sang this song whilst I comforted my mum as she was dying last May, it was the last thing she heard. The song was apt for the beautiful soul that she was and how I didn't want to loose her. Thank you for reminding me of the love that I have for my lovely old mum. x

Beautiful. I do believe that music is the universal language of love. My siblings and I sang with my father as he lay on his hospital bed dying. He was not conscious but we sang to him anyway and it was a really powerful thing. Well done.

@@stuartmoore6310 that was so beautiful what you did for your father & although he may not have been conscious, from all the things I've read about & heard in documentaries etc, your father would have heard you & I'm certain that it would have comforted him immensely in so many ways. I'm so very sorry for your loss,i truly am.
Aimee!! Steve here. I did it! Thank you so much for this and all of your videos. I can’t wait to teach your method to my granddaughter. This is going to be so much fun! Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!!!
Just found your channel and really appreciate your lessons. I'm a percussionist/drummer (i.e. didn't have to sing high parts....ever) but drummers have melody envy, so here I sit watching your channel. I'm not sure my neighbors appreciate the number of times I am butchering my attempts to harmonize but that melody is like a magnet and I keep dropping the "high," part...at least sometimes. I will keep at it and keep learning. Thanks, Aimee.
Excellent lessons I am 73 and been singing since I can remember and have been involved with some church and male voice choirs and never been able to grasp the more technical parts of music you have explained so well. I am often congratulated on my singing voice even now. I wished I had had someone like you in the sixties. I still rock on karaoke as I have trouble remembering words that’s old age . Many thanks
9:00 this was lots of fun to sing along. Reminded me of my quartet choir in highschool...
I am one of those gravitators! This helped me so much! Got it perfect almost right away!
It sure would have been cool to have your grandparents demonstrate on the video. What love in your family and I imagine they were all so thrilled when you made music your dream career! You make learning so enjoyable and have that soft friendly voice that encourages with love in such a patient way! It is another gift! T think the Aimee twins did a great job demonstrating! ha ha Thanks Aimee
“You are my sunshine” is my absolute favorite song to harmonize to. Beautiful. I usually hear the low harmonies better, but I hear the high one in this song.
Glad I found you Aimee. Thanks a ton. I hope you have nothing but happiness and joy throughout your life. ❤️
Great video ! Thank you. from Eve Green San Raphael Ca.
Your such a great teacher, one day I’ll thank you in person for this knowledge
I love the way you’re explaining this, I still keep getting drawn to the melody but I’m going to keep practicing, thank you
Every time I hear you are my sunshine I tear up. My parents used to sing that to me every night so it just hits hard 😂🤧 I listened to the two harmonies at the end and had to stop the video before you sang it again to gather myself 😂
Thank you for sharing a great memory with all of us.
I just want to notify you that you've just adopted me. No seriously I actually adopted you, I've found my musical mom! Everything in your channel is so useful and so many things I've been looking for! Thank you so much!! Subscribed for life! :D :D :D

The best teacher of harmony on youtube, Thank you x
Aimee, I love your method of teaching! So refreshing and honest. You brought a tear to my eye with this segment. This was the song I learned harmony from. My mom loves this tune and we were all taught the high part. I remember the drives down country roads while each of us would teach the songs we learned in school to the others. Thank you for this memory lane trip.
07:57 hit me right in the childhood. My mom used to sing this to me when I was a little dude. Obvi not both parts but that was a great start to today.
Using an interesting harmony really makes it so much easier to stick with it! This was very helpful, thank you!
This was literally life changing.
You are the best teacher I have heard for harmony. I am not talented but could follow your explanations. I only hope I can come back to this page and not lose it. Thank you for putting up this video
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ LOVE IT, LOVE IT, L-O-V-E it!!! YES, I could do it! I’ve always been sure that I COULD sing harmony IF someone would JUST teach it to me. I used to sing in school, but always sang with the “first” sopranos, which meant the melody. Your way of teaching is EXACTLY what I need. Thank you for taking the time and sharing!
Hello, This was helpful and reassuring, so thank you. . I've been trying to harmonize while cloistered at home due to the pandemic. My biggest self-taught epiphany was realizing I needed to focus on my voice, and tune out the main melody...or I'd suddenly be singing along with the main melody. Jimmie Davis was credited with writing You Are My Sunshine. He also "wrote" I Wish I Had Never Seen Sunshine. (I think ownership and authorship were sometimes confused back in his day.) The lyrics to the latter include: "I wish I had never seen sunshine, I wish I had never been blue. I wish I had died as a baby, and that I'd never met you." It provides a nice counterpoint to "You are my..."
It was very easy for me. That's because I been singing on stage for over 30 years. lol. I always enjoy seeing and listening to how you present information Aimee.
So happy to find you! this is great! thank you Aimee!
Thank you for showing us how to harmonize, aimee. I always wonder and want to learn it.
This material is so good! Thanks a lot for doing it!
Loved your harmony classes Aimee! Your such a great teacher and a joy to listen to. God bless you and your family!
You are a great teacher! Thank you
You truly are an amazing Teacher Amy, thank you for helping me with my harmony, I am a bass guitarist in the Lefty Martin Country band, you make Harmony so easy to understand.
You’ve got such a wonderful vibe. I can hear the smile in your voice ❤❤

Thank you Aimee! This was so inspirational and the fact that it brought back powerful memories of me singing with my Grandmother and trying to learn to harmonize was such a gift. You rock! Keep those lessons coming. G
Loved this!
I really like this. So much.
Really helped me a lot. Thanks Aimee. God bless ya!
Awesome tutorial. Thank you.
Aimee...you're great. Easy style, great presentation, and making it simple... thanks!!!
Gosh, I felt like you were my soulmate when you brought up CSN. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video, Aimee! Edit: OMG, I just sang the harmony along with you at the end of the video. Wow! You make it soooo super easy! Wonderful!
That was really satisfying to hear myself harmonising to you in the end ! Thank you for giving me hope :D
Very good I needed this. Thank you
Great video!!! I’ve been trying to explain this to various band members over the years and this is a wonderful and easily understandable explanation! 👍👍👍
Thank you for this! It was super helpful!
super helpful. Enjoying your videos.
Wow this was awesome can't wait to show my daughter ❤️
Awesome stuff.... I have always loved listening to the Bee Gees. Their music brought me here. Really great explanation of harmony.
This is so helpful! I'm auditioning for the worship team at my church and I want to strengthen my harmonizing skills and this makes it easier to understand!
You are such an amazing teacher
beautiful...you are the best
I've always had a good ear for harmony and I never really knew why. Now I know it was because my mom was a big Eagles and Bee Gees fan and played their music alot when i was little. Harmony for days!
I am listening to this video and singing along. My wife Nancy is whistling the song over and over in variations. My wife sings like a bird and is one major attraction for me - music. We just sang it a few times.
I was able to harmonize pretty well. Thank you!
We used to sing this song as kids coming home from a schooltrip with the bus. ;-) Thank you for creating this inspirational twist and atop of this very usefull too. :-)
Ahhhhhh this was so awesome!! Thank you 😊 ❤️
this was honestly incredibly helpful Amy! Thank you so much. my boyfriend and I are working on singing together (old country duets) and this is something I will bring back into our practice sessions
Wow! This is the first time I've been able to sing harmony, without sitting next to somebody who could actually sing their part and I copied them in choir. I can sing melodies fairly well. Not a great singer, but as a jazz guitarist, I can carry a tune, but always had trouble singing harmony parts without a helper. Thanks, Aimee!
This is a beautifully constructed harmony. I just transcribed it to standard notation and plan to use it in my Dixieland band. I love the tritone in the 4th full measure. This is a big New Orleans street song which has an interesting history. We use what's known as the "Gospel Changes" for the last six bars but it looks like your harmony will work there. || A / C#7/| F#min /// | B7 /// | E7 /// | A //// | E7 //// ||
That was super easy. My dad always sang that higher part when he played his accordion by ear! I am learning to play by ear and am 83 years old.
This is definitely helpful. I am not really a singer but our ukulele club plays & sings so I would like to compliment & not be the one who is out of tune. For someone without having a musical background this really gives me hope that I can learn to harmonize..Thanks! Oh & You are My Sunshine is one of our favorite songs to play on ukulele..
I appreciate your videos and feel like all of them are well done and each has something to be learned that is in some way beneficial to me. The one thing that I don't understand is how you can keep making them and not worry about keeping them fresh, interesting and new. You do an amazing job and I thank you for that.

Miss Aimee you were just 5 feet shy: the documentary you alluded to was "20 Feet From Stardom" (2013). However your instructions on vocal harmonizing are 100% accurate and have been very useful to me as I'm learning to sing with fellow members of my church. I love your conversational and anecdotal approach to teaching. SUBSCRIBED! Thank you!!

Hi Aimee I really love your Harmony singing, and I hope that I can learn from you I feel like such a failure so many times cuz I just go with everyone I hear this voice and I go with that and I hear the other one and I go with that and I can't seem to stick to one that I'm going to keep watching your videos may God richly bless you.❤

Thanks very much for this, it was very useful. Typically pig headed, despite listening and copying your harmony, when I first tried I sang a high harmony which followed the melody. I think it sounded fine, but even this process gave me food for thought. 😃
amazing thank you. !
when i was a kid, i listen to bread's music. now i like singing at the high harmony notes.
Thank you - superb videos
Thank you so much for sharing. I tried a different tutorial first, but could not stick to my own part. Your pace is much nicer. First attempt was a little off, second attempt was as good as my voice gets currently.
Damn….. this was wonderful. Thank you
Fantastic - thank you ❤️
This is touching .
When you said "for some of you, this was gonna be super easy and didn't need to watch this" you kinda hit the nail on the head for me. lol But still, it's a nice little note to keep in mind plus I had fun harmonizing "You are my Sunshine" with you in a higher harmony and a lower one! Great video series!
Superb teaching.
Helpful!
THIS ACTUALLY WORKED.

Please keep this series going and thank you very much for all your great work. I find it difficult in getting the first harmony note whist the melody one is simultaneously sung. I can do it after a few tries but when I later come back to it I make the same mistake.

Thank you!!!!
Amazing
Got to keep practising cos I am fairly hopeless but your video really helped. As yo say it is easy to slip back to the main tune and not the harmony but also I found that I was not harmonising but singing descant
Hi Aimee thanks so much for the lessons! Will be watching the documentary you mentioned tonight, it's called "20 feet from stardom". Greetings from Sweden!
I- ... I get it!!! I understand what you mean!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Thank you so much!
