OUR DIRECTOR - Martha Segura We are extremely proud to introduce this amazing and energetic woman to you! Martha has been singing with Sweet Adelines since she was in high school. She co-directed the award-winning Mission Valley Chorus for several years. She is very talented, singing lead with the incredible RAZZCALS, dazzling audiences with sizzling barbershop music laced with classy songs from a delightful variety that includes rock 'n roll, jazz, rhythm and blues, swing, Broadway, smokey ballads and toe-tapping uptunes. She is the coach for the International gold medal Young Women in Harmony quartet, Underage, in which her daughter sings bass. Additionally she is employed by Dixon Steel and is also a mortgage broker. She, her husband Jay and family moved from the Bay area two years ago, and they all share down time on 77 gorgeous acres near Rogue River. They have four children ages, 21, 17, 12, and 8.
Meet "RAZZCALS" our 2008 International Quartet Medalists." WHAT IS BARBERSHOP HARMONY? The style is 4 part accapella "barbershop" singing, which means that we have four parts making up the harmony, and it's without any instrumental accompaniment. Lead voices sing the melody line. Bass voices sing the foundation of each chord, Tenors generally sing the highest note of the chord, and Baritones sing the note that completes the barbershop chord. When all voices in the chorus sing in key and with the same pronunciation of words, a chord will "lock" and overtones of the chord will "ring." We do contemporary as well as songs from the 20's through the 60's that are arranged for four parts. It's FUN!!
