If you want to learn harmonies, check to see if there's a sacred harp shape note group in your area. The original shape note singers used to go into villages in the South in the States in the early 1800's? and spend about thirty days there teaching people to read their music. Then they'd sell 'em their books, I guess, and move on. Easiest way I've yet seen to begin to learn to read music and to practice and hear harmonies. Best harmonies too. ...easiest way, but still too tough, and too little personal release for me right now. Maybe I'll try again next year.
