Step 1: Listen to examples
Listen to a cappella examples in the many forms it comes in, including barbershop, doo wop, gospel, and more.
Step 2: Learn the song
Learn the different vocal parts of the song by listening carefully to the recording.
Step 3: Find a group
Find others in your area that are interested in a cappella and join them to create an a cappella group. Try a church, school, or music store.
Step 4: Assign vocal parts
Assign each group member a part of the song you’ve chosen to perform. Many a cappella groups consist of a lead vocalist, a bass or low voice, a baritone, and a tenor voice.
Step 5: Practice the songs
Practice with your group.
Before starting a practice, warm up your instrument with vocal exercises.
Step 6: Get a gig
Call area churches, schools, and cafes and ask if your group can perform for them.
Did you know? All hymns for the first 1,000 years of Christianity were sung a cappella.
