Introduction - Part Two - Why is this Blog Here, and Why Should You Care?
Now that you know a little bit about me, I’ll tell you why I have started this blog. I think that there can never be too many resources for education and improvement of ourselves and the art form of barbershop. While there are many out there that teach and share knowledge with us, there aren’t very many web resources for us to use on a continuing basis. Barbershopstep.com can help fill in the gaps in between music schools and conventions.
While I’ll never claim to know it all, my experience as a quartet member, a chorus member, and a coach affords me the opportunities to see where there are information gaps than can be filled and or places for improvement.
I plan to offer up articles that will provide tips and techniques for both chorus and quartet members as individuals as well as those that are team leaders and are looking for new ideas to share with their choruses.
If you like what I have to say, then there may be opportunities for us to work together in the future. (You can contact me at sheri@barbershopstep.com) I also have no problem with you printing and using these articles in your chorus newsletter. All I ask is that you list barbershopstep.com and me as the source reference. Also, I would love for you to include a link to barbershopstep.com on your chorus website where your members can visit and learn as well.
Some things that I detail here may seem elementary to you, but as a whole I may feel that they need to be shared. Hopefully you will find the information helpful and possibly open a dialogue where we can either share ideas or I can answer your questions.
Sometimes I may even write about whatever hot topics are floating around the barbershop community or give you a personal update on my chorus and quartet just for fun.
Overall, I hope to become one of your barbershop education resources, so stay tuned.
