The Course

Harmony Foundations is an in-depth, practical course designed for singers who want to improve their harmony singing. You’ve sung with harmony tutorials, but want to get better at finding your own harmony. You want some ways to improve your ear so that it is easier to stick with the harmony and not default to the melody. You want to understand the art form of worship harmony singing and get better at knowing when to sing, how to blend, and how lend your voice to creating the most beautiful sound in worship...

...this is for you.

My "Why"...


I specifically remember the feeling of singing in the congregation one Sunday morning and having a breakthrough experience. Finding harmonies had finally started to make sense to me, and I felt like I had unlocked a whole new dimension in how I was able to express my heart to the Lord.

If I really wanted to declare a lyric, but the melody was too low, I could find that harmony that was perfect in my voice to express my praise. This is my hope for you as you continue to develop your harmony singing... that it will result in a richer expression of your heart to the Lord in musical worship.


What you will learn


This course will give you just enough music theory understanding to be helpful without being unnecessarily boring.

You will learn ear training exercises to keep improving your internal sense of hearing harmony.

You will learn the basics of how the keyboard works (even if you have no experience) so that you can use it to find harmony parts on your own.

You will gain experience through singing common musical sections from worship songs so that when you encounter them “in the real world” your ear will naturally gravitate toward the right harmony.

You will learn the role of the worship harmony singer in contemporary worship music so that you can know when to sing and how you should sing (blending, range, energizing the song… etc).

My hope is to create a journey to harmony singing that is informative yet also worshipful.

My hope is that you have more chance to sing and practice and less listening to talking about terminology.

Your instructor

Hi! My name is Nate Brown. I am a worship leader, music teacher, and professional singer in the Los Angeles area.

But, my greatest joy is to help others build their confidence and musical abilities to serve the Lord in musical worship.

This project has been a long time coming, and I really want to fill a gap that is out there when it comes to learning how to sing harmony.

Martin's Story


My name is Martin and live in Hertfordshire, which is near London, in the UK.

I’ve been involved in our church music for a number of years, playing guitar and was asked to take on the lead role (Director of Music) about 3 years ago. To do this role, I felt I needed to be able to sing as well as play guitar. After much on-line searching, I came across Worship Refocus and undertook the Vocal Groundwork course. I learned so much about singing scales, breath support and head resonance. From there, I started 1:1 lessons with Nate and my vocals have come on loads over the last 3 years and now lead the singing at our services very regularly. Even my wife says I sing really well- and she was always my biggest (and best) critic.

A few months ago, Nate helped me try out some simple harmonies. I found it really hard at first, but we did some ear training, singing on numbers (the best thing ever!) and I was able to sing some harmonies on Sundays. I even managed to teach a group of teenagers the Doxology harmony myself.

I think that harmonies can add a level of depth and beauty to our praise and worship so, I m looking forward to learning more harmony skills with Nate.
