Education

Sweet Adelines International promotes a cappella music sung in the barbershop style, and is committed to education for our members and anyone interested in music. Here are some of our educational opportunities!

The Young Women in Harmony program is supported by Sweet Adelines International, Regional Young Women in Harmony Coordinators and Chapter YWIH Representatives. Together, these volunteers are helping introduce barbershop singing to the next generation throughout our region and the world. Our chapters facilitate a cappella festivals and workshops, to invest in confident singers, preserve the barbershop harmony art form and keep chords ringing!
