“They could sing in perfect two-part harmony. My mother had been a professional singer, and my father was just naturally talented. As we got older, we kids started joining in too. I don’t think I realized until high school that this wasn’t something every family could do.”

“This was basically my family, too. There were six of us — my mom was the music director at a church, my dad was always in the choir, and all of us kids could sing and play at least one instrument. Every summer, we’d perform at church, and at some point in nearly every song, we’d hit full six-part harmony — especially once my brothers’ voices dropped. My sister’s a soprano, I’m a contralto, my mom’s an alto, my brothers are tenors, my dad’s a baritone, and my youngest brother can pass as a bass. Our last name even started with “V,” so people called us the Von Trapps all the time.”

“OMG, this! My mom and my aunt were both in a choir when they were younger. Apparently, it’s weird to break into three-part harmony for no reason. My mom, grandma, aunt, and I would each pick our parts and sing along, and Christmas — wow — we’d sing carols all night. If you’re a singer, you know that feeling: the rush of joy, the warmth, the pure happiness that comes from singing out loud. It was amazing. Don’t get me wrong — everything else about my family was completely messed up. But the singing… that was good.”

“My whole family does that! I have to warn people when they visit us that we might break out into four-part harmony.”
