Our SATB chorus was about 75 strong, with about 2 women who could sing tenor. They were highly valued, especially in the limited membership of a women’s barbershop ensemble.

If you’re male and you can sing anything or play a pipe organ, you are worth your weight in gold to the right church.

Some of my favorite vocalists are female contraltos, because I can sing in their range.

Choral work is the most demanding volunteer job I ever had. It’s also exhilarating, highly social, and rewarding. No regrets!
