Scenic City proudly supports Sweet Adelines International's Young Women in Harmony Program. The YWIH program is designed for singers under the age of 25. This short video explains more about this wonderful program!
The Young Women in Harmony Program, sponsored by Sweet Adelines International, offers to music educators a means of including the study and performance of barbershop harmony in school music programs. The aim is to provide materials, training and performance opportunities for this American musical art form.
The Young Women in Harmony Program prohibits SAI members from soliciting young women to become Sweet Adelines International members. The program is strictly designed to introduce students to the joy and fun of singing four-part harmony, barbershop style.
Music educators can obtain through Scenic City or through Sweet Adelines International, a YWIH education packet. The education packet contains comprehensive information for teaching young voices four-part harmony. The education packet is complimentary, and includes the following tools:
- A short presentation by choruses, quartets and teachers who incorporate barbershop music into their school curriculum.
