What an interesting comment from Viveka: "and.. I want to learn how to hear baritone in the chord.." I've never thought of it like that..... Jon Wagner, Bass,...
Hello Viveka. I sing bass in Akron Ohio USA. . In your letter, you want to hear the baritone chord. Is this to learn the chord? Brett Sweeney. Viveka...
I second the vote to ask how you want to hear the baritore part in the chord, Viveka. When singing Bass, I'm tuning and concentrating on working with the Lead...
HI there from over the very large pond. I am a bass with Gem City chorus and have been singing barbershop now for 2 years. I had never even heard womens...
Hi Viveka, and welcome to the BB Shop Basses group. I know what you mean about hearing the bari part in a chord!!! I can tell when the bari part is missing,...

Welcome Viveka - Find a simple slow song to start. Guys have the "Polecat" series for learning basic technique - ask your friend if he can lend your a copy,...
Hi Viveka, Actually, although you say you want to hear the bari (and it is often fun to hear what they do!), your role as a bass has nothing to do with what...
I've created a new yahoo group for past, current and future Sections Leaders of BBS, SAI, HI. You are invited to join and participate by sharing your ideas,...

wow... thank you everyone for all your replies and comments, Jon, Brett, Sandra, Trisha, BB, Tom, Jim... you make a newcomer feel very welcome on this board!! ...
... Viveka wrote in part: Even when I hear their voice clearly, the note is kind of fuzzed into the chord and I cannot pick the tone!! sometimes I suspect that...
Viveka, to hear the bari in an excellent quartet, buy a CD by Metropolis - I suppose any they have will do. Their standing arrangement places the Bari on the...
Hey all - I am glad mentioned the topic of quartet standing arrangement. I would like feedback on why everyone thinks a particular standing arrangement works...
Trisha For most of my 'shopping career, the "standard" lineup was bari, bass, lead, tenor (or the reverse). I always thought the lead-bass duet was crucial,...
Hey Jon- now you have me curious. Who were the ladies in The Q? Thanks- Amy in Fresno<CA ===== There is no "way to happiness". Happiness IS the way!...
I would like some hints to train for ear dominance. I stand to the left of my lead, but I am left ear dominant, which means I hear the bari much better, and...
... Sandi, I am similarly endowed <G>. That is the reason that we stand with my left ear toward the lead. That is a fairly common positioning. audience Tenor,...
Sandra, Have you tried switching places with the lead? Stand Bari, Lead, Bass, Tenor? I discovered recently that I had the same issue in my quartet. We were ...
Trisha (& all) My experience has been that switching standing positions very often leads to misconceptions on what is best for the quartet. Any time you...

It all depends on whether you're going for overtones or undertones! Sing-cerely & Humm-bly, John Elving mailto:leaderman@... Rapid City, South Dakota...
This may come across as amusing (which I wouldn't mind), but it has its serious side too. What if your quartet has all four members with either left or right...
One of the reasons we switched to Bass, Lead, Bari, Tenor, is that a coach told us she could hear the Bari in that arrangement and when the Bari was on the end...
One of the dirty little secrets of coaching is that rearranging the quartet or chorus almost always results in a better sound temporarily because each singer...
