Forming a Vocal Group—Need Soprano, Alto, and Bass

Jersey City NJ

Description

I am a Tenor with no professional singing experience who is looking to form a four-member singing group for fun. While I don’t have a strong background in music theory, I think it would also be fun if we could write original songs to perform. I am open to discussing different genres of music that work a cappella style or with light instrumental arrangements. I believe meeting once or twice a week to rehearse and write songs is a reasonable commitment. I am not hiring anyone for pay—and we don’t have to become the next Manhattan Transfer—but if we ever get paid to perform then we will split it and any songwriting copyright is obviously the property of the contributing author(s). The split between performers and songwriters would also have to be agreed upon ahead of time. This is intended to be a long-term collaboration primarily for learning and fun. I am looking for the following vocalist teammates: Soprano Alto Bass No experience is required but you should be able to learn your part from sheet music at a pace that is compatible with other band mates—I myself am a beginner at this. If you are interested in songwriting either individually for the group, or with the group, it is a plus. I think a good sense of harmony can be valuable for both performing and songwriting. Sorry to be negative here but no illegal drug users please. Also due to a personal allergy problem, I cannot be around smokers for long periods of time. Finally, you should not have any employment or contractual restrictions, judicial “restraints,” medical enhancement, or any other factor that precludes you from doing this for pay if we ever get to that point. About me—I am a former finance and consulting professional in his late 40s but all ages are welcome. I live in northern New Jersey near Manhattan. Please contact me if interested and be sure to include an email address or phone number. I may take some time to reply so your patience is appreciated.
