BARBERSHOP CHORDS HAVE 4 PARTS IN A TTBB ARRANGED SONG
- The Bass is the foundation of the Barbershop chord. It requires vocal strength and range to hit the lower notes.
- The Baritone is middle range and mostly harmony notes. It is considered the most difficult and important part to a 4 part Barbershop chord.
- The Lead is also a middle range part which provides the melody. Many singers begin as leads but later move to another section more suitable to their voice and range.
- The Tenor is the highest voice and completes the classic 4 part harmony of a Barbershop song. Most tenors sing in a falsetto voice and must have a good ear to keep the pitch in tune.
