Conflict is our Friend

Saturday June 14, 2025 8:30am - 9:30am PDT

TBA

Anytime people work together in a collective capacity, conflicts will emerge. People are different, simply put, and the more opinionated and outspoken individuals are, potential for conflict increases. The temptation is to view conflict negatively and damaging and, thus, avoid it at all costs. Dealing effectively with conflict, however, holds great potential for improving the organization and relationships among its members.

There are a thousand things you can do with a song; come learn the critical things you have to do in order for the song to be barbershop. If you don’t use these five, you cannot succeed in singing barbershop. We will also explore a second Ah Hah and trap -- just because a chart is written in the barbershop style, it doesn’t mean that you are singing it in the barbershop style. This class will help you understand what barbershop is, and how to use your new understanding of the barbershop style to move from being a "notes and words" singer to a singer who gives the barbershop song its due. This class is for everyone from novices to experts.

Mike has for years been preparing arrangements using Finale for publication through BHS. Now that Finale is no longer able to upgraded, Mike has been working again with BHS to evaluate other solutions for preparing arrangements for publication.
This class will be teaching/working with MuseScore. It is FREE, and was just updated to v. 4.5, and added a couple of features that make it a great fit for BHS and SAI. There are some things it still lacks, but for the most part, it’s just a matter of learning a few different keystrokes. I’ve attached a pdf of Polecat that I set, and it’s hard to differentiate it from Finale. <<look at the attachment>>

What's Behind Powerful Performances

This class is also offered in Session 1.
We talk about trying to "connect with the audience" from the stage but what does that really mean? You know it when you feel it yet it's hard to describe what's actually happening in that magical moment. Explore the history of music and performance from the earliest human cultures through the lens of how it has shaped the way we connect as humans over the ages. Western science and thousands of years of religious traditions from all over the world have all demonstrated the benefits of singing together and for one another. Here, we will learn to amplify this power with breathwork, movement, meditation and playful dramatic exercises. Feel the difference for yourself as we build skills together to create powerful performances and even help us cultivate compassion as individuals and communities alike. Dress comfortably and be ready to let loose and have some fun a we learn and work together!

Arranging for Directors

Saturday June 14, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT

TBA

This class is repeated in Session 1: Often a director has good theory skills but is not someone who arranges barbershop music. Then when you find a chart that you and the chorus really like, there are some challenging spots (a tricky key change, some notes too high or too low for the group to sing well, overly complicated rhythms, etc) and you need to enlist the help of an arranger to make these minor edits. It can be hard to find someone for this and it can delay the learning process considerably. This class will examine what you would need to consider in order to confidently make changes like these yourself, thereby opening up more possibilities for the chorus and less time spent on those few bars in the original chart that the chorus really struggles with.

Part 2 of 2. First half of class is during Session 6 (8:45am on Saturday)
Mike has for years been preparing arrangements using Finale for publication through BHS. Now that Finale is no longer able to upgraded, Mike has been working again with BHS to evaluate other solutions for preparing arrangements for publication.
This class will be teaching/working with MuseScore. It is FREE, and was just updated to v. 4.5, and added a couple of features that make it a great fit for BHS and SAI. There are some things it still lacks, but for the most part, it’s just a matter of learning a few different keystrokes. I’ve attached a pdf of Polecat that I set, and it’s hard to differentiate it from Finale. <<look at the attachment>>

Ever wonder why rehearsals start with a warm up? What's the point? What's the meaning of life?

Okay, maybe we won't be able to answer the third one, but come dive in to a discussion on why the warmups can and should be the best part of your chorus or quartet rehearsal.

We'll chat about elements of a warm up, how to execute them with purpose, and why each part is important. A good warmup can help solve problems before they start, achieve your rehearsal goals, make you feel and sing better for the whole rehearsal, and help you achieve long-term goals.

And if you are already part of your rehearsal team, come exchange ideas to help refresh your warmups and make them even more fun and engaging.

The Idiot’s Guide to Facebook

OR

A Guide to Facebook taught by an idiot!

Facebook was a mystery to me until I began working with the Evergreen Facebook page. Through trial and error, I accidentally discovered Facebook Metrics, What they mean – How to post ahead – The truth about videos- and how to increase followers. In November 2024 I started The Barbershop on Facebook (TBOF) Facebook Group dedicated to Barbershop and a cappella ensembles, it now has 1100 members and is growing. How did that happen? Join a journey to understand Facebook a little bit better taught by someone that “stumbled in” unaware.
