For barbershop/acappella arrangers* who have some experience, have already created sing-able barbershop arrangements, and want to refine their craft for use in barbershop competitions. We’ll cover:

✅ Nov 5 – Form and structure
✅ Nov 12 – Development and embellishments
✅ Nov 19 – Sing-ability and style
✅ Nov 26 – Reviewing and refining with checklists and filters

Each session will include lecture with performance examples, score study and analysis, plus dedicated Q&A and optional assignments to share with the group. Sessions will be recorded and attendees will have access to view for one month following the seminar.

Prerequisites: Recommended to have Notation software (Finale, Dorico, Sibelius, MuseScore) or manuscript paper, plus a working knowledge of barbershop theory and how to construct a solid four part vocal arrangement in the Barbershop style.

*Disclaimer:  
These seminars are presented through the lens of my personal arranging experience. They reflect general guidelines based on the Barbershop Harmony Society contest and judging rules, as well as those of Sweet Adelines International. However, they are not intended to represent the only approach to creating barbershop arrangements.  R
efer to the organizers of your competition for the “official” rules and guidelines regarding suitability of an arrangement for their contest. Visit “About Aaron” for more info on my background and experience; and feel free to ​contact me with questions about these seminars or the website.
