I started this website because I felt that I had gained some insight into some topics that others rarely seem to have - specifically topics 1 & 7. I thought perhaps some would find these topics of value. Then people encouraged me by saying that I explained things well, so I added topics that are well known by most trained musicians but still are not well known by the average singer.

I would appreciate any comments about what works and what doesn’t work and how I could make the presentations better. I would also be very interested in your progress and/or frustrations in your learning journey in singing. Any comments are appreciated. Click on my E-Mail Address to send me a message.

These are topics developed by Ted Norton, a retired Houghton College, NY music professor where I was Coordinator of Music Education for 37 years. Especially since retirement, I have been an active member of the Barbershop Harmony Society both in singing and in teaching. Along with my lovely wife Nan, we have 5 wonderful children, 8 grandchildren with two great-grandchildren. I was born in 1928 (You do the math).
