Young Women in Harmony teaches emerging voices the skills, joy and rewards of performing and singing
four-part harmony, barbershop style.
Young Women in Harmony delivers both musical excellence and education while giving young women a taste of show business.
This program provides educational tools to teach young women singers the joy of performing this American vocal music art form.
Young women (age 25 and under) are encouraged to join choruses and quartets. At the fall and winter regional meetings,
there is often an opportunity for young women to rehearse and perform for the membership at large. Also, YWIH quartets
are eligible to attend the International Education Symposium in July and compete against other young quartets from around
the world.
