MTMS has chosen Barbershop Quartets as the theme for October. Whether you’re trying Lab Composition station or Music History, you’ll get to learn more about barbershop quartets and what they could sound like. We’ll also have offerings for our youngest students.
You may have seen barbershop quartets before. There are four parts: lead, tenor, baritone, and bass. While they sing a capella (without instruments), they may also dance or add spoken words. The organizations that promote these singing groups proclaim it is an American tradition-it is international (United States, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, South Africa, Finland, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.)
