Their electrifying Chinese and English rep covers every genre from Funk to Rock, Jazz to Pop. At every concert they hit audiences with, what critics have described as, a “wall of sound.” This four-man vocal group is quickly becoming the leader of contemporary a cappella in Asia. With a career spanning 17 years and over 20 million views on Youku and YouTube worldwide, Metro is reigning in a new era of sound. Metro started their career in 1998 singing aboard several ships with Celebrity Cruises. After four years with the fleet, they moved to Tokyo, Japan and performed for Tokyo Disney Sea in the American Waterfront. Their reputation for being exceptional entertainers caught the attention of the directors of Hong Kong Disneyland and in 2005, they were asked to open the park. After two years with the company, Metro made the decision to enter the mainstream music industry and they have never looked back. Since that time, Metro has discovered an entirely different variety of Cantonese and Mandarin music from the last 50 years and now performs some of China’s most beloved songs as well as their own compositions. After recording two trendsetting albums, in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, Metro has established themselves as powerful artists in the Asian music market.

    MINDSET of a SUCCESSFUL QUARTETTER Barbershop Parts Study - Playlist Observations

    MINDSET OF A SUCCESSFUL QUARTETTER Barbershop Parts Study - Playlist Observations Click here: "Parts Study" Spotify Playlist Quartet Information & Listen Fors 1) “After Today” - Remake of the Acoustix version (BHS champs early 90’s.) • Attention to coming in and out of unison, solos and vocal gymnastics in all parts. • Smoothness with which parts hand off the melody to one another, beginning with a very melodic bass. • Color of the releases in all singers, along with a very consistent lift that does not sound contrived at all. • Vocal flexibility - These are all gals in their mid to late 50’s…all parts. While you can hear the maturity (and the benefit of having that experience), you can also hear a vibrance that comes only with vocal freedom. 2) “If I Were a Bell” • Flexibility and lightness (an ease with the vocal approach.) • Strong sprinkle of personality and FUN in it. • Notice the smoothness of the tenor and how she “tucks into” the chords and how she takes on the solo part more like a lead rather than an ensemble (as they all do in this quartet), which are very tightly voiced (notes close together to each other) • The chromatics around 1:40 are accurate and balanced well through all voice parts. The Buzz The • Again, the handoff of parts in shared melody is seamless. They ring, they buzz, hence their name. Listen for SAI Queens the chords to sound rich and full. Conventions in barbershop like bell chords, lead-ins, echoes, etc. are handled with aplomb and consistency. 3) “Back in Business” • This quartet is well-versed in all aspects of our craft.

  • Barbershop Harmony Lesson Plan a Unique Genre of Music Originating in the United States

    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.
