The singing art called "Woodshedding" (spontaneous
harmonizing-by-ear), is the musical foundation of our international
Barbershop Quartet Society. For members, potential members and our
non-singing supporters, AHSOW's goal is to conduct as many Woodshedding
demonstrations, workshops and "ear-singing" opportunities as possible.
Regular Education Activities
One of the most effective venues for such outreach activities is via
AHSOW Rooms with facilities provided by the Society, each District, Division or
Sponsoring Chapter, these special rooms are staffed by skilled
AHSOW members who have been selected and trained by their District
Educator and Certifier (DEC). Room activities are posted in the
calendar of each convention or activity and are carefully scheduled not
to conflict with contests and shows. A calendar of events is also
posted on the door of each room and reminder announcements are made from
the podium. Whether you are a seasoned Woodshedder, a prospective Barbershopper
or a non-singing fan of great Barbershop Harmony, the AHSOW Room has
something for you. Plan to visit us... and, bring some friends.
You can visit AHSOW Rooms at:
- Division and Preliminary Conventions
- District Conventions
- Mid-Winter Convention
