Barbershop Choir Rehearsal

Get Involved: Barbershop Choir Rehearsal

Participants gather for a focused rehearsal of four-part a cappella barbershop harmony. The session opens with vocal warm-ups and breathing exercises before the group works through individual voice parts. Singers then blend together on full arrangements, refining timing, tuning and expression as a chorus. 🎵

This weekly Monday evening activity suits women who enjoy structured singing and want to develop their vocal skills alongside others. New attendees are welcome to observe or join in, with the group happy to support those learning the style for the first time.

The rehearsal follows a clear format that builds from technical work to polished performance pieces, giving everyone a chance to contribute and improve together.

• Practice four-part barbershop arrangements in a supportive setting
• Work on vocal technique through guided warm-ups and exercises
• Blend voices as a full chorus on current repertoire
• Receive feedback on individual parts and overall sound
• Build confidence singing in harmony with experienced members
• Enjoy the social side of group music-making each week

The chorus meets weekly on Monday evenings at the same venue, providing a regular rhythm for ongoing skill development and musical enjoyment.
