We are a women’s a cappella chorus located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We are a chapter of Harmony, Inc, an international organization of women barbershop singers in the United States and Canada. We’re all about harmony – in our music, our relationships, and in our community — working to grow a vibrant organization for women of all ages who love to sing! Our music is performed a cappella, and usually, but not always, in the barbershop style. We sing as a large chorus, and also have smaller ensembles and quartets. We have learning tracks for all our songs, so reading music is not a requirement!

All our rehearsals are open to the public and to potential new members. You’re welcome to visit anytime! We rehearse every Tuesday evening at 6:30 at the First Presbyterian Church, 509 Magnolia Street, New Smyrna Beach, FL 32168.

Barbershop harmony is unaccompanied four-part a cappella harmony. Although barbershop-style music is usually built on simple melodies and is relatively easy to sing, the a cappella style and the ear training necessary for independent part singing make it one of the most challenging and rewarding accomplishments of a vocal ensemble. When the music is sung accurately and with good breath support and vocal technique, barbershop harmony produces overtone vibrations that create a resonant ring unique to this form of music.

Harmony Sound Waves is a 501c non-profit educational organization. Our members pay monthly dues, which we try very hard to keep affordable. Performance fees, our annual show, and other fundraisers help us cover expenses. We are so grateful for our sponsors, friends, and families! Their support at our shows and fundraisers means the world to us! We welcome donations, no matter how large or small! Please select “For friends and family” as the payment type when issuing a donation through PayPal. Thank you!
