    Harmonising a single note...

    Imagine the note C as different degrees of many different chords...

    * This 'top down' way of thinking is great for expanding your harmonic awareness.
    * If you can sing down from these different points it will hugely expand your aural ability.
    * It's a fantastic compositional tool:
    - for harmonising melodies
    - for deriving harmonic relations that are melody-driven...

    These are just some of the possibilities, now go explore for yourself!
    Once you get more into inversions and polychords there are many more interesting options...
