About Us
Sounds of the Shore is a vibrant and exciting women's chorus based on Auckland's North Shore.
We are a prospective chapter of Sweet Adelines International (one of the largest singing organisations in the world) and sing an eclectic range of songs in barbershop style; from golden oldies to modern pop favourites. We sing in four part harmony, with Tenors singing the higher notes, Leads the melody, Baritones the counter-melody and Basses the lower notes.
​
Our rehearsals are fun, engaging and educational. They include an upbeat physical warmup, quality vocal coaching and work on our repertoire in sections, and as a larger group. Although we take our vocal product seriously, our rehearsals are always full of laughter and end with supper and a chat.
​
Our members are beautifully unique, of different backgrounds, ages and occupations – all connected through friendship, and a love of singing and performing. Many members are new to reading music and learn the songs by ear, from vocal tracks we provide. Our award-winning director, Richard Harker, is very entertaining and professional – you will love singing with us!
