For men who like to sing in the shower or the car, or have sung in a school chorus, a community theater musical, or a church choir, the Pine Barons Chorus, who rehearse in Cherry Hill, are ready to teach men how that love for singing can be turned into a great hobby.
“Give us six Monday evenings,” says Rich Gray, the chorus director, “and we’ll give you the skills you needed to experience all the fun of solo or group singing.”

READY, SET, SING
The course called “Ready, Set, Sing!” is being taught by Jeffrey Wienand, a professional voice coach and member of the chorus, and by director Rich Gray. Both beginners and experienced singers are welcome. All learning materials are free. Advanced registration is encouraged.
The next series of Ready Set Sing classes are scheduled 7:30pm Monday evenings, April 17 thru May 22, at the St Andrews United Methodist Church, 327 Marlton Pike W (next to Ponzio’s Diner), and will also serve as preparation for a Memorial Day performance with the chorus at the Cherry Municipal Building on May 29.
“You don’t even have to be able to read music,” says Rich Gray. “We’ll teach you everything you need to know in order to sing richly and resonantly and produce ear-pleasing harmony. You’ll soon be enjoying the ringing of beautiful a cappella chords, the fellowship of a great supportive group of guys, and the thrill of performing for enthusiastic audiences.”
Registrations are being accepted NOW. Contact John Celani: (856) 866-2474 or info@pinebarons.org.
