WHAT IS BARBERSHOP?
Barbershop is a form of unaccompanied singing that originated with nineteenth century gentlemen who sang together for pleasure while waiting for a shave or a haircut.
When women sing in this style, we use the traditional terms for the parts: bass, baritone, lead, and tenor.
In barbershop, low voices provide the foundation. This distinguishes it from other forms of singing where the highest voice is predominant. The result is a distinctive “lock and ring” sound, an almost magical unsung overtone produced over the voices when they are in perfect harmony allowing ordinary voices to produce extraordinary music.

BENEFITS
Singing is good for you! It is a great way to relax in a noncompetitive atmosphere. Research shows that overtone harmonics have an amazing ability to calm the body, clear the mind, and relieve fatigue. And when you learn music, you always have a song in your heart.
In our chapter we enjoy an affordable hobby emphasizing craft rather than costumes, choreography and competition.
