You've heard the greats sing and wondered, "how can I sound like them". These learning CDs are one place to start. Whether it's proper warm-up technique, expanding your range, or simply learning how to breath while you sing, these instructional recordings cover it all. And we've got parts-CDs, too. Don't just read the arrangement, hear how the parts are supposed to sound, hear someone demonstrate what you're supposed to sound like. If that doesn't make the learning process simple and painless, nothing will.

Review: There's nothing finer than singing harmony with friends around the holidays and this barbershop arrangement by Russ Foris is bound to please. Includes 4 copies of the sheet music and a learning CD which is recorded as a a 'part-predominant' recording. This is where one voice part (tenor, lead, baritone or bass) is featured louder (or predominantly) in one channel (either left or right), to make learning that part easier for the singer. There is also a regular 'reference' version of the song as well. Helpful for all quartet members who can rehearse separately from the others. (in the car..)

Review: 'Coney Island Baby' and 'We All Fall' were first conbined as a medley by Les Applegate in 1924 for the musical comedy 'No, No, Nanette' This song has traditionally been started with a 'bell chord' by having the bass sing and hold is first note on the word 'oh,' followed quickly by the addition of the baritone note, then the lead, and finally the tenor. Continue to 'goodbye' without a breath. Most importantly, entertain your audience and have fun while singing this classic barbershop audience pleaser. The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: Coney Island Baby / We All Fall, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass

Songlist: Do You Hear The People Sing?, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass
Review: The song 'Feliz Navidad' is one of the most popular and often-heard songs of the Christmas season. It was written and recorded by the Puerto Rican artist Jose Feliciano in 1970. The spanish words are derived from a common holiday greeting 'Feliz navidad, prospero ano y felicidad' meaning 'prosperous year and happiness.' The percussion parts can be played by the choral musicians, or assigned to a small group of percussionist. In either case, the pulse and tempo should remain steady and constant. If you are performing this song in a chorus rather than a quartet, you could try having some of the singers create the percussion parts using vocal percussion or body percussion by imitating the sounds of the maracas, tambourine, cowbell and woodblock. The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: Feliz Navidad, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass
Review: 'Give Me a Barbershop Song' was written by Roy Dawson, a member of the British Association of Barbershop Singers (BABS). The verse should be sung in a free, almost conversational, style. Work to establish three four-bar phrases, even if you choose to lift or breathe after every two measures. The chorus should have a light swing feel, like an old soft shoe number. Energize the singing all the way through the end of the song. Pay special attention to the beathing suggestions in measures 35-39 and 67-71; this overlapping scheme helps create a continuous sound and flow characteristic of the barbershop style. As always, have fun entertaining your audience! The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: Give Me a Barbershop Song , Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass

Review: Composer Joe Liles has been an employee of the Barbershop Harmony Society since 1975 and has served as the Society's Executive Director, Director of Music Education and Services, and as the Music Publications Editor. He is also a composer and arranger of music for religious and popular groups, as well as barbershop quartets and choruses. His catalog contains hundreds of original compositions and arrangements. 'Harmony Leads the Way' should be sung legato, but with strong energy and clear diction. Allow the syncopated rhythms to unify into a steady meter of two without too much accent in the line. This piece would make a great opener or closer. The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: Harmony Leads The Way, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass
Review: 'Hello Mary Lou' was written by Gene Pitney, and performed by Ricky Nelson in 1961. It has been recorded by many groups including Led Zeppelin and Queen. The style of this arrangement is similar to the best-known version by Ricky Nelson. The song should have a moderate duple meter feeling, like an easy country two-step. On the second verse, be sure to feature the lead voice in the musical texture. At measure 41 allow the tenor to join the lead feature. Keep the tempo steady all the way through to the tag, but feel free to hod the last chord as long as you want for a strong ending. The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: Hello Mary Lou, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass
Review: Opening with a very free close harmony verse, this favorite song moves into an easy swing that will show your vocalists at their best! This CD features the full performance plus part-predominant tracks (Tenor, Lead, Baritone, Bass), sung with lyrics.

Review: 'In The Good Old Summertime' and 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' were both published in the eary 1990's. These songs are stil loved and recognized across America today, and 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' is considered the unofficial national anthem of the sport of baseball. Be sure to sing each song fast enough to create a 'waltz feel' in 3/4 time. The audience should feel and understand, through your energetic performance, teh fun and excitement of a baseball game on a beautiful summer day. The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: In The Good Old Summer Time / Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass
Review: 'Silhouettes' was a hit single by the Rays in 1957. Tom Gentry's arrangement is an audience pleaser that can incorporate visual enhancements such as sunglasses, leather jackets, and choreography. Be sure to let the 'doo-wop' swing feeling be natural and unrushed, with hte melody always prominent in the texture. Keep the diction clear and precise so that the audience can understand the humor of the story on the text 'you're on the wrong block.' Feel free to experiment with the smoothness of the bass line by having the section sing on an open vowel such as 'du' rather than 'dm.' The CD features part-predominant tracks, sung with lyrics.
Songlist: Silhouettes, Part-predominant CD, Full Performance, Tenor, Lead , Baritone, Bass
