CYBEREVOLUTION

For the next few weeks I will be spending my Monday evenings with The Harbour Capital Chorus, as I do an ‘Introduction to Barbershop Singing’.

Tonight was my first attempt, and it was great! Being able to hear all the different harmonies, and ‘tags’ (embellishments at the end of pieces). Apparently I have a good range on my voice and could fit into Lead/(strong)Baritone/Bass and probably Tenor if I pushed my falsetto. This is the range for Barbershop, in contrast to the traditional Soprano, Alto, Tenor or Bass (SATB) of more conventional choirs.

I’ve throroughly enjoyed it, and they even let me stay on and take part in their main rehersal too! So LOTS of sight-reading, and site-singing.

Bet None of you lot out there thought I’d EVER do anything like this huh?! Well….neither did I to be honest, but if the opportunity arrises to do something new, you’ve gotta give it a go right? So, I have!

Woohoo!
