Education
Education is the passion and purpose of Sweet Adelines, helping each other grow as singers and spread the joy of music to others.
As coaches and educators, the late Darlene Rogers and Sharon Babb helped countless Sweet Adelines strengthen their voices and confidence using the craft and artistry of barbershop music.
To honor their memory, Peggy Gram and Dale Syverson (co-creators of Sing, Baby, Sing! along with Darlene Rogers) have donated a free audio recording (.mp3 file) of Sing, Baby, Sing!: Blue Ribbon Vocal Warmups, Edition #1, to Sweet Adelines members.
Welcome to the public Sweet Adelines Education Portal! Here you’ll find a variety of helpful resources, learning tracks and instructional videos relating to voice, music and virtual rehearsals.
