How to Join a Gospel Quartet

Gospel quartets are exciting, creative ways to express and explore your vocal talent. Quartets are made up of four singers, all with a proficiency in a different pitch, such as bass, baritone, tenor and counter-tenor. Quartets commonly sing in harmony and without the assistance of musical instruments.
