Happy New Year from The A Cappella Society!
December for us was filled with multiple productions from Camp A Cappella at Republic Polytechnic with The Idea Of North and Jamaica Caf , Vox Essentials, The Shanghai American Middle School A Cappella Ensembles to Christmas training and performances by The TAS Youth Voices!
This brand new year, we are looking at presenting 2 concerts and 2 music camps in view of presenting material to specific audiences. Do look out for our Youth A Cappella Festival, a concert by the youth for the youth and our annual A CappellaFest 06 plus 2 Camp A Cappellas this year. One for the beginners and one for advanced singers. Not forgetting our beloved Championships as well!
We are also looking into starting up a TAS Singers for working adults. Do look out for more details!
Here's to a joyous and productive New Year!

(1) FEATURE : SONG WRITING & MUSIC RECORDING SEMINAR
Produced by the fabulous guys at SoMA www.soma.com.sg , this seminar allows you to watch and experience a live demo on song writing and music-recording using a PC. It will be conducted by highly trained professionals in the industry and some of whom have graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music (USA), whose alumni include John Mayer, Maroon 5 and Wang Lee Hom.
Due to overwhelming response on the 7th of Jan, they will be having another seminar on Jan 21. Music technology allows us to produce a song with just a PC. How does one develop an idea into a song and then efficiently record it to sound professional? Experience a step-by-step live demo by industry professionals and graduates from Berklee College of Music (USA), whose alumni includes John Mayer and Wang Lee Hom.

This brand new year whip out your vocal chords and get that group started! If you dont write music, you can buy them at www.a-cappella.com or www.singers.com .

You have 6 months to work on your presentation of 3 songs and we look forward to hearing from you! Please feel free to write us at angie@a-cappella.org.sg with whatever queries you may have.

Looking for an avenue to pick up some a cappella singing skills? Training and rehearsals will be conducted once a week at a central location for 3 hours each time at a low cost of $40 a month. The mission is to provide training and or re-training to singers who've been too busy working and who are looking for a fun and friendly environment to put some a cappella songs together. Depending on the quality and progress of development, there will be performance opportunities as well. (Singers aged : 20 and up)
