If you are new to the Barbershop style of a cappella choral singing, you may want to consider joining a Barbershop chorus. You can very likely find a local chapter chorus by looking here: Barbershop Harmony Society. Choruses are very welcoming and interested in new members. They provide a friendly social environment for learning the style and repertoire.
The What’s In A Name Quartet’s home chorus, the Altoona Horseshoe Chorus in Altoona, PA, is one such group that is actively seeking new members. Please don’t hesitate to contact Karen.L.Myers@usa.net for more details or for general advice. (Reminder: there are all-male, all-female, and mixed choruses, so whatever you sing, there’s a place for you!)
The What’s In A Name Quartet is always interested in speaking with other Barbershop singers in our general area (central Pennsylvania) with an eye to occasional expansions to a VLQ (“very large quartet”) with more than one voice on a part, both for performance opportunities and for general get-togethers, in the style of a Harmony Brigade. Contact Karen.L.Myers@usa.net for more details.
