What's it all about?

For the 33rd year running, the British Association of Barbershop Singers will hold their three-day Harmony College in August 2011. Primarily for the benefit of members of BABS, it is, however, open to all. Anyone who sings a cappella harmony, or any other kind of harmony, would find something of interest in it and have a wonderful weekend of music and friendship.

What is it?

It is an opportunity to sing, have fun and learn more about vocal skills, rehearsal technique, reading music, arranging, interpretation, visual aspects of performance and a host of other topics associated with performing unaccompanied vocal music.

Where is it?

It takes place on the Jubilee Campus campus of the University of Nottingham.

Here is a map of the campus and links to directions. Here is a Google map. The postcode is NG8 1BB which should enable your SatNav to get you there.

When is it?

It runs for three days from 8:30am on Friday 26th August 2011 to the afternoon of Sunday 28th August 2011.

How much is it?

More Information

You decide whether to enrol on a Full Stream, which will occupy your entire three days, or on two Mini-Streams, which gives you the opportunity to study two subjects but for half the time. Course information is in the Prospectus. You cannot mix Full Stream study and Mini-Stream study.
