Weekly Monday Rehearsal

What Makes This Session Special

Turning up regularly to this Monday evening session means joining a group of women for an engaging evening of a cappella barbershop harmony singing. The focus stays on learning and refining vocal parts together, building tight harmonies, and preparing music for upcoming performances. Whether you have sung in a choir before or are completely new to barbershop, the session suits adults and youth alike. No prior experience is needed, and the format encourages steady progress through repeated practice.

This weekly Monday session runs every week, giving participants a consistent rhythm to develop their skills and enjoy the social side of group singing. Attendees spend time on warm-ups, part learning, and full chorus run-throughs in a supportive setting at Marian School Hall.

• Work on four-part barbershop arrangements with guidance from experienced singers
• Practice vocal techniques and blend through targeted exercises
• Rehearse songs selected for competitions and community shows
• Connect with other women who enjoy a cappella singing

The Waikato Rivertones Chorus hosts the session as part of its ongoing rehearsals, keeping the atmosphere friendly and productive for all who attend.
