Pitch & Harmony

Harmony

The effect created when different notes sound together.

In plain English

Harmony can refer to chords, chord progressions, or an additional line that supports a melody. It creates colour, tension, and resolution.

One singer holds the melody while another sings a different note that fits beneath it.

Why it matters

Understanding harmony helps explain why notes fit, clash, create tension, or feel settled.
