AW301 - Mike Menefee and Chuck Roegiers This level will focus on a cappella, four-part writing from a uniquely "barbershop" point of view, wrapped in a discussion of how the genre is evolving in our time. We will assume you are fluent in your understanding and application of the basic principles of Music Theory and Barbershop Harmony so that they have become almost second nature to you and that you have successfully arranged songs that have been performed by Chorus/Quartet and may have been published.
