Frequently Asked Questions Who can sing in the Northern Gateway Chorus? Women of all ages who love to sing!
Why sing in a Sweet Adelines Chorus? It’s a great opportunity to improve singing skills, make new friends, share a great hobby, perform for our community, and test our skills at annual competition.
Do I have to be an accomplished singer to participate? Absolutely not – if you can carry a tune & love to sing, we’ll teach you the rest.
Do I have to know how to read music? No – many of our members don't read music – we provide CDs to help you learn your part.
What if I can’t sing with vibrato? Not a problem - the barbershop style of music does not use the vibrato technique.
What if I naturally sing with vibrato? Our vocal exercises will help you learn to control your vibrato.
I can’t sing very high (soprano). Is there a place for me? Boy, do we ever have a place for you! The barbershop style of music utilizes the lower female voice ranges (baritone & bass). The more, the merrier!
What is “Barbershop Style”? “Barbershop style” simply means “very close harmony” - it's four-part, a cappella harmony in a style that puts goose bumps on your arms & brings a smile to your face when you hear it.
Do I have to sing in a quartet? No, there's no requirement to sing in a quartet.
What about costumes. Do I have to know how to sew? No – though we do make many of our costumes, our members who sew are willing to help.
