The Society invests considerable time and resources toward promoting its special offerings to music educators and Next Generation and YWIH students. This handsome ad will appear in the coming issue of Choral Journal and in direct mail to educators. You can help, too: if you have local contacts or mailing lists, you might adapt this thumbnail, link and short description.

Directors will:

• Learn conducting techniques that inspire energy, expressiveness and emotional commitment from every performer

• Participate both as a director and a performer, so you can experience powerful techniques from both sides of the baton

• Select from more than 60 electives including vocal techniques, score study, choral methods, and much more.

• Use the strengths of barbershop harmony to improve each singer's tuning and harmonic awareness in any style of music

Next Generation Chorus and YWIH Chorus Singers will:

• Sing in an All State-caliber chorus with some of the finest clinicians in the land, with two hot young quartets as mentors and section leaders

• Improve harmonic listening skills, performance skills, and of course, singing skills

• Make life-long friendships with other like-minded singers from all over the world!

• Become more confident singers and bring those skills back to them to YOUR choral program!

Honors Chorus looks like...

Many different kinds of Barbershoppers make up the Harmony University Honors Chorus. Check if this describes you:

• A good chorus singer in a fair chorus, who wants to feel what it's like to sing in a great chorus

• A director who wants to see a top-notch director as the singers see him

• A devoted Barbershopper too busy for the demands of regular chorus involvement, but eager for a week of great singing and performing

• Ditto the quartet man who wants to "live like the other half" for a while

Put Mo in Your Sho

You sang great! The audience cheered! But you still felt that empty feeling because you weren't rewarded with that coveted standing O. You're not alone. Sometimes even International medalists feel the same way. Perhaps you need to put some more MO (as in MO-MENTUM) in your show! This webinar will show quartets of all skill levels how to construct your show set for maximum entertainment, cut down on the chatter in places that harm momentum and manipulate audience applause energy to get you those standing O's you may have been missing out on.
