Hey folks… one of the things I do is compose music - I have written for choirs, (SATB), orchestras and even did music for a short film (that was fun!). I noticed the interest at the BB camp this last week in Nashville when Ben and his sisters demonstrated how they figure out vocal harmonies. Would you all like a small series of videos about how I write for duets, trios and quartets?

Who could say no to that? I’d love to hear that. I believe Ben also demonstrated in one of his lessons - going higher up or lower up for the seconds.
In “All to Jesus, I surrender”, the soprano and tenor starts like this, if I’m not wrong, for the stanza. In the key of A,
(A chord = A C# E, D chord = D F# A, E chord = E G# B). However, I don’t see the link between B and D in the second phrase. OK it has to be D related minor Bm. (Bm = B, D, F#).
All to Jesus, I surrender, All to thee, I freely give.
Soprano - C# C# D C# B B C# B A A D C# B C# A
Tenor - E E F# E D D E D C# C# F# E D E C#
Chords - A A D A Bm Bm A Bm A A D A Bm A AParallel 6ths are ALWAYS good! 
Sounds cool, but that’s going way above my head! 
I bet it’s not! Tell you what… I will buy you dinner if you cannot complete an assignment based on what I show you.
Deal! 
I think it would be great.
I’d love to see that!
Yes indeed!
Do it, please!
People keep complaining about my minor 2nd harmonies, so I think I need something like what you propose.
Some folks just don’t appreciate dissonance!
As long as it’s justified at some point it’s great.
I’m only one fret away from something better.
Hey folks… I am beginning a series of short videos under the topic What can Amazing Grace teach us? Part 1 of a series
I will be covering using numbers, finding harmony parts for two voices, three voices and four voices.
Enjoy!!!

I watched this and now I am stuck singing My Girl all day.
Will these videos be part of the lessons for the site or just post in the Music Theory Forum?
Great question! Currently I am just posting to the forum. That’s Ben’s call. I am just working to add to the collective music theory nerdery at the moment!
The plan is to have @Mr_G run his own course on the new site when it launches…for now he’s just making us more hungry 
You too? 
“What can make me feel this way?”
the answer is obvious. My girl. Duh.
