harmony parts
Supporting melodic lines
Harmony parts are the vocal or instrumental lines that accompany a melody, creating chords and harmonic texture.
In singing, harmony parts are the notes sung above or below the lead melody: She sang the high harmony part on the chorus.
Learning to sing harmony means training your ear to hold a different note while someone else carries the tune.
