| Capital Chorus | ||
| REHEARSAL AND SINGING TRAINING | ||
| Capital Chorus is London’s premier male Barbershop Harmony Club: a friendly and welcoming bunch of men who share a common hobby ... Barbershop Singing. The weekly rehearsals involve exercises to develop voice range and quality, learning new music, polishing repertoire songs, and practising visual performance. Previous singing experience is not necessary, but we do expect you to be able to sing in tune and to be able to hold a tune. Many of our members cannot read music, and this is not essential as CDs are provided to help you learn the voice part. Alternatively, as soon as a new member signs up he will be given access to the “Members Only” section on this website where all music parts can be downloaded in mp3 format. We will teach you the ins-and-outs of four-part harmony singing, step-by-step. Above all, if you enjoy singing and would like to experience the thrill of performing, Capital Chorus could be for you. |
