Quartetting-Is It for You?

The essence of barbershop harmony is four voices, each singing a separate part. The result is harmonic synergy, the marriage of the physics of sound with magic.

When you’re ready – which we sometimes define as “10 minutes or so after walking through the door” – you’re going to sing your part by yourself in harmony with just three other guys. Don’t worry, it’ll just be a snippet of something we will teach you.

After that, your life may change forever.

If you really get serious about it, you might want to find three other guys and organize a regular quartet. The chorus and the musical leadership will provide as much support as you need.

Quartets that have sprung from the chapter include:

Mountain Vocal Project

Mountain Vocal Project formed in Asheville in 2010; they are together as a direct result of their fabulous North Carolina Harmony Brigade experience-the original home of "Xtreme Quartetting." Shown above, singing in Florence, SC in October 2011.
