A barbershop chorus based in Carlton are inviting male singers from across the borough to sign up for a free six-week course to fine tune their singing abilities.
The Major Oak Chorus – Nottingham’s only male Barbershop Chorus – will be hosting the course from Tuesday, September 25, between 7.30pm and 9pm.
The course will take place at the Carlton Junior Academy on Foxhill Road in Carlton
The course is for men that may already sing in a choir, ensemble, sing karaoke or perhaps they are an accomplished solo singer; it will also be ideal for those lapsed singers who want to return to singing.
Chorus Director Andy Salter says “Barbershop is four-part acapella close harmony. It’s not all straw boaters and waistcoats. It can be demanding but the exhilaration experienced when everything locks and rings is something that has to be experienced to appreciate.”
The main body of the course will be about fun exercises and learning some songs in the Barbershop style. Advice and tuition will be incorporated in the song learning.
At the conclusion attendees will perform both songs with the rest of the chorus.
