Surrey Harmony Women’s Barbershop Chorus

Want to Sing? - Week 2

Well Done to everyone attending our 7 week singing course. After just seven days you are now singing in four-part harmony.

On Week 2 we sang the first half of each of our course songs "Anything Goes" and "Somewhere". What a great job everyone did of learning them and with 100 people on the risers again the sound was just great.

After just seven days you are now singing in four-part harmony.

talked about resonance

Earlier those attending our course revised the Week 1 topic of breathing - the holy grail of singing.

Then Assistant Director Valerie Taylor talked about resonance - demonstrating the difference between using cold air to sing -which produces a thin sound - and warm air which gives singers a warm rich and resonant sound.

Everyone is now blowing on their fingers to spot the difference!

Next week we'll be trying out the rest of our songs - good luck.

Already Surrey Harmony has got more women enjoying our great hobby and fulfilling their ambitions of learning to sing. See all the photos from the first night here.
