Method of teaching a vocal harmony involves a computing device which automatically generates a plurality of audio presentations of a musical composition in a predetermined series. Each audio presentation in the series is different from the other audio presentations in the series and is configured to assist the user in progressively learning the selected vocal harmony part. Each of the plurality of audio presentations in the predetermined series is made different from others of the audio presentation in the predetermined series by selectively controlling (1) the particular ones of the plurality of vocal harmony parts that are included in each of the audio presentations, and/or (2) a magnitude of an audio volume that is applied to each of the plurality of vocal harmony parts that is included in each of the audio presentations.

Teaching vocal harmonies

Collaboratively creating musical harmonies includes receiving a user selection of a particular harmony. In response to this selection, there is displayed on a display screen of a computing device a plurality of musical note indicators or notes to specify a first harmony part of a musical piece to be performed. Real-time pitch detection is used to determine a pitch of each note which is voiced by a person, and a graphic indication of the actual pitch which is sung is displayed in conjunction with the musical note indicators.
