Intro to Barbershop

Pure Silver is available to make classroom presentations to introduce school children to the barbershop style of singing.

The goal is to briefly teach the barbershop style while showing that singing is easy and fun.

The teaching is interspersed with plenty of quartet singing to entertain, plus student participation in tags and a sing-along.

Currently, the level of teaching is at the 4^th thru 6^th grade level, and takes about 45 minutes or one class period. (If you are interested in a different age level, contact us.)

Items that are covered:

1. How did barbershop singing get started?

2. What are the four parts in a quartet?

3. What makes the barbershop sound?

4. How is barbershop different from other styles of singing?

5. How did the Barbershop Harmony Society get started?

6. What kinds of songs are sung in the barbershop style?

7. What is a tag?

8. What about the girls?

If you would like to schedule a presentation for your class, or have additional questions, please contact us.
