How is barbershop singing different than choral music?
You will find that while barbershop and choral music have similarities, there are differences. For example, we don’t hold sheet music during performances. We add choreography to some of our songs. Our baritones and basses read their music in the bass clef, but sing an octave higher. We have flexibility with the interpretation of our arrangements and our enunciation is more in the “pop” singing style (we rarely sing hard d’s or t’s at the end of a word.
