ow
the
progr m works
There are many ways in which the Barberpole
Cat program can be used by the chapter to
encourage quartet singing. Here is me way:
The Music Leadership Team presents to thc
chapter board a proposal to begin thc
Barberpole Cat Program.
A
successfi
Barberpole Cat Program requires thl
cooperation of the program vice president, thl
music director and other members of th~
Music Leadersh ip Team . Therefore, boarc
approval is needed so that the required modes
expenditu re of fun ds can be appropriated, anc
a regular time period allottei
during ch apter meetings.

program should have a copy of this boo1

tne son gs so that I-rIemberS can learn their parts
in a group. The songs may be presented one
at a time, or in groups of two o r three. Spend
about five minutes per song and review eacF
song for about five minutes during thl
succeeding three weeks.
The quartet teaching m ethod can be used tc
advantage with the Barberpole Cat Program
(See Music Leadership Team Manual Chapte
VIII.) If talent is available, more than on1

be continued, as needed, as songs are learned
As the teaching quartet accurately sings eacl
song without music, the quartet member;
automatically qualify for each song sung
Members of this group will probably be thc
first in the chapter to earn their Barberpole Ca-
pins.
A sugg estion: Since there are twelve songs, it
might be logical to present one song eacl
month. By the end of a year, all of thc
Barberpole Cat songs could be learnc
Each week, there should be
an
opportunity for
members to qualify on the songs. Since
singing in quartets can speed the learning
process, members may wish to practice their
parts with three other men, with music in
hand, in front of the chapter. Listening to the
parts being sung by the quartet will h elp
others
gain familiarity with the music.
When a member teels that he can sing hia ra
to one of the son gs without the music, he m ay
volunteer to do so, in a quartet, in front of the
chapter. A section leader, another member of
the music leadership team, or a barbershoppe r
who is experienced in that voice part, should
listen to the volunteer s performance, to
determine whether he has sung the words and
music correctly.

The entire program should be carried out in a
spirit of support, fellowship and fun. If
determination is made that the volunteer has
not sung the song satisfactorily, he should be
praised for making the attem pt and encouraged
to take another look at the music, or listen to
a learning tape, and t y the song again at the
next meeting. It should be pointed ou t to the
mem bership that failing is an im portant part of
the leaming process. Each member should be
encouraged to

to sing his part in a quartet.

performance, th lot bend those rules.
Qualifying should not be automatic.

After a year or so, interest may wane , as most
members of the chapter learn all twelve songs.

Instead of being presented as part of
hapter meeting, the program can be a
separate break-out session. Or, it can be an
early-bird program, presented before the
chapter meeting. It should be pointed out,
however, that there is value in the enthusiastic
support of other chapter members when the
program is part of the chapter meeting.
Awards can be eliminated, or additional
awards may be devised by the chapter. For
example, a T-shirt could be awarded to
members who learn
ll
four voice parts to the
twelve songs.
While a point will be reached at which there is
no longer interest in presenting the Barberpole
Cat program each week, the chapter may still
wish to continue quartet promotion. One
method of doing this is by creation of a similar
program, using chorus repertoire songs instead
of the Barberpole Cat series. A similar set of
awards, using pins, cloth sew-on patches, T-
shirts, or other incentives can be devised. A
chapter logo or some other design may be
substituted for the Barberpole Cat emblem on
these prizes.
earning
tapes
A cassette learning tape that includes the 12
Barberpole Cat songs is available from the
Harmony Marketplace catalog. The right
channel contains just your voice part. The left
channel contains the other
3
voices at a lower
volume level. This tape will also play your
part predominant on a portable type player
that has only one speaker.
By adjusting your balance control to the right,
you can listen to and sing along with just your
voice part. By adjusting the balance
ull
left,
your part will be omitted, and you will be able
to sing with the other 3 voice parts, just like in
a real quartet.
A set of four tapes as well as individual tapes
are available. Please contact our order desk
for current pricing and other ordering
information.
