Thread Name: Why sing harmony?
Subject: RE: Why sing harmony?
Joe Offer said > I have difficulty catching onto harmonies, and I wonder if it could be due to my hearing problem.

My wife is deaf in one ear and is unable to hear properly in crowded situations, parties and such. But she tells me she _can_ hear most harmonies (tho' not to be able to work out who is singing what - that's a stereo hearing thing)

How are you with a mono radio and harmonic singing on it?

I can hear harmony but can't usually whip up something ad lib, as it were. Sometimes I can hear something but simply can't match the notes myself. It's wierd. Not to say annoying!

I suspect it's all a function of the brain and so some can ond others can't with several degrees in between

I wonder if it's something that can be taught?
