The dedication of the Foundation’s Jim Clark staff and trustees is unparalleled, as is the Regional Director of Development generosity of our donors. We have much to Carolyn Faulkenberry be proud of but much work still to do. Chief Financial Officer This report provides some key facts Connie Harris and figures on the financial health of the Director of Communications Foundation, but we all know that’s only half JJ Hawkins the story.

It’s a family, and music is what waters Senior Director of Development our family tree. Singing is the lifeblood that flows through us all and binds us together. Hopefully this report tells a bit of that story as well. Sharon Miller Acting President and CEO Each of us has our own reasons for supporting Harmony Foundation International. My family has made Barbershop a lifestyle, and it has been Sarah Ogiba Finance Assistant good to us. The lifelong friendships, the work ethic instilled in our children, a sense of togetherness — all these elements were cultivated through James Pennington Barbershop.

  • Barbershop Harmony Lesson Plan a Unique Genre of Music Originating in the United States
    SWEET ADELINES INTERNATIONAL Barbershop Harmony Lesson Plan A Unique Genre of Music Originating in the United States Grade Level: 6 - 12 Suggested Time Allowance: 1 hour Objectives: 1. Listen to and analyze short samples of music in the barbershop genre. 2. Consider the voice parts and ensembles types (quartet vs. chorus) within the genre. 3. Discuss the origin of barbershop music. 4. Experiment with “tag singing” a traditional way of sharing barbershop music. Materials Required: Computer with Internet access, projector, speakers (or SMART Board) Introduce Topic: Have you ever heard of barbershop harmony? Have you ever seen a quartet or a chorus of all men or all women that sing popular songs a cappella, in four-part harmony? Do you think of it as something your grandparents or great grandparents would enjoy? Does the thought of barbershop harmony evoke thoughts of straw hats, striped vests and canes? If so, you’re thinking of the early days of barbershop. Like all music styles, barbershop harmony has expanded, adapted and evolved over time. As each generation exerts influence and takes new risks with a music style, the style continues to grow and change. What fun would it be if no one took any risks? We would never have any variety. What if Elvis hadn’t pushed the envelope? Would we have any of the current pop/rap/rock/heavy metal styles that we have today? Everything that we know today came from somewhere or someone long ago. Barbershop harmony is no different and today it is a unique, American art form. LoveNotes Quartet 2014 International Quartet Champion and 2007 Rising Star Quartet Champion First quartet to win both the youth quartet contest (in 2007) and the standard quartet contest (in 2014) SWEET ADELINES INTERNATIONAL Barbershop Harmony Lesson Plan See and Hear Quartet Examples: Let’s get your ears attuned to what barbershop harmony sounds like in its current form.

  • History of Barbershop
    HISTORY OF BARBERSHOP By David Krause and David Wright Definition of barbershop harmony. Read: Definition of Barbershop Harmony, from the Forward of the Contest and Judging Handbook. The Purpose Of This Course. We will attempt to trace the roots and the evolution of barbershop harmony from well before its actual beginnings up to the present. We will try to answer these questions: What were the tides of history which spawned the birth of the barbershop quartet, and what environment allowed this style of music to flourish? What were its musical forerunners? What are its defining characteristics? What other types of music were fostered contemporaneously, and how did they influence the growth of quartet singing? Which styles are similar, and how are they similar? How did the term "barbershop" arise? How long did the historical era of the barbershop quartet last? What other kinds of music sprang forth from it? Why did the style eventually need preservation? How was SPEBSQSA formed, and how did it become a national movement? What other organizations have joined the cause? How have they coped with the task of preservation? Are current day efforts still on course in preserving the style? How has the style changed since the Society was formed? We will spend the next few hours contemplating and attempting to answer these questions. Overtones. As barbershoppers, we are very conscious of the "ringing" effect which complements our singing. We consider it our reward for singing well- defined pitches in tune. The fact that a tone produced by a voice or an instrument is accompanied by a whole series of pitches in addition to the fundamental one which our ear most easily detects has been known for centuries.
