Saturday June 13, 2026 9:45am - 10:45am PDT
People ask me all the time what the secret is to my success with choirs, bands, quartets, and choruses. Why do your choirs/bands always sing/play in tune and never gain or lose pitch? There are several factors, of course. But one overarching concept will fix so many issues in your quartet/chorus sound and tuning. It is absolutely one of my top secrets for ensemble success! Come join us!

Non-Theory Theory
Saturday June 13, 2026 9:45am - 10:45am PDT
You don’t have to read music—or speak theory—to understand how barbershop works. If you’ve ever felt when a chord locked or rang, you’re already using real musical instincts. This class connects what you already hear and feel to what’s actually happening in the music—without getting lost in jargon. You’ll leave with a clearer handle on chords, movement, and structure, and how to use that awareness with more confidence and control.
