  4. New Member OrientationSession One What Is Barbershop Harmony? • Four-part, unaccompanied, close-harmony singing, with melody in the second voice, called the "lead." • Tenor (counter-tenor voice) harmonizes above the lead singer; bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes, and the baritone provides in-between notes, to form consonant, pleasing chords. First meeting

  5. New Member OrientationSession One What Is Barbershop Harmony? Barbershop is a "melting pot" product of African-American musical devices, European hymn-singing culture, and an American tradition of recreational music. • Melodies in the vocal and skill range of the average singer, with lyrical emphasis on simple, heartfelt emotions: love, friendship, mother, moon & June & the girl next door. First meeting

Through singing in four-part harmony, we provide opportunities for personal expression, spread joy in performance, and enrich our lives and the lives of others.

  7. New Member OrientationSession One Core ValuesFellowship - We foster rich relationships. We are committed to inclusive and respectful relationships based on integrity, trust and reputation.

A culture of lifelong learning encourages members to continually seek personal growth and enrichment as well as contribute to the evolution of the Society.

In that act of creativity, we may bring forth beauty, hope, joy and other artistic expressions. As performers we experience the exhilaration of creation in soul and voice.
