Come learn four-part harmony, a cappella singing in the barbershop style
Besides sharing our music, we are passionate about learning and practicing the art of a capella singing. Vocal instruction is a regular part of chorus rehearsals and a very important component of the chorus experience.
In addition to instruction by our wonderfully talented director, we have the good fortune to have specialized coaching in areas such as vocal production, expression, and choreography from visiting masters in the art of barbershop.
We love learning more about our art!
