If you are looking for vocal harmony the best thing to is transcribe musical pieces that you like. Meaning follow each harmony one at a time until you get it all the parts. Disect it into sections. You said you know chords so after you've learned the parts, write down the chords they form You will then be able to see the "movement" of the harmony and counterpoint, etc. Theory -wise you can read the book all you want and it will help, but really the most important part is self study and applying it to the music that you like. |

There is no substitute for learning the language of music, and I don't mean the words in English to describe it, but the language itself.
