About Us
The Institute of Harmonic Science (IHS) is a 501c3 nonprofit educational organization established in Phoenix, Arizona, in the year 2000. We are dedicated to inspiring and growing communities of people who sing together for healing and transformation. We believe singing in Harmony and Love integrates the body, mind, and spirit while healing the heart of humanity.
Higher Vibrations Music is a global outreach program of IHS. Our vocal music curriculum explores the science of Harmony and Vibration with music that blends the languages of science, the new physics, and spirituality. Our themes include purpose, destiny, guidance, and spiritual communion in the context of a vibrational universe filled with Beauty and Wonder, and fashioned by Love. We provide free sheet music to community choirs, senior centers, vocal ensembles, religious and spiritual organizations, and educational institutions.
Singing Higher Vibrations Music together in Harmony and Love consciously connects us with the wonder and majesty of our Universe and with one another.

Artistic Director and Founding Member
Harold Grandstaff Moses, PhDE is a composer, recording artist, harmonic theorist, and a founder and the Artistic Director of The Institute of Harmonic Science.
An alumnus of Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute of Music and New School of Music, he served as Assistant Principal Violist of the Denver Symphony for eight years.

Harold has conducted many experiments investigating the ability of sound frequencies, chord progressions, and rhythmic patterns to influence the mind-body-spirit. Moses’ research with proprietary harmonic overtone arrays demonstrated their ability to favorably influence the parasympathetic nervous system while creating heightened states of relaxation.
Moses is a prolific composer of instrumental, orchestral and vocal music. His choral works include the Sacred Geometer Canticles, Hymns for the Age of Great Change and Higher Vibrations Music™. He has produced numerous recordings as an improvisational pianist and violist, including best-sellers Edges of the Soul and his Harmonics For Healthseries. His music, which elevates the spirit, sings to the mystery, the wonder and the beauty of our vibrational Universe.
“Harold Moses is not only a musician, not only a composer. He has something more than talent, he has a great something inside. He and his enormous heart weep, strut, laugh out loud into and through his music, making us all come alive. We used to call this magic.”
