Learning Tracks Women’s

Can’t Buy Me Love

Contest Uptunes, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Love & Weddings, Master List, Rock & Pop, Shows & Glows, Women's Room,

This classic from the Fab Four is not only lively and wise, it is contestable too (though perhaps not for SAI). But whether for contest or show, this song is a sure winner. “Everybody tells me so!” Tim Waurick’s tracks for women are purely great, and he now has them for men too.  Continue reading Can’t Buy Me Love →

I Only Have Eyes for You

Contest Ballads, Learning Tracks Women's, Love & Weddings, Master List, Mixed Voices, Rock & Pop, Shows & Glows, Solos, Women's Room, Youth in Harmony

This popular classic is now available in two versions. One has the shimmering feel of the rock ‘n’ roll hit, while the other is a contestable tempo ballad as sung by Metropolis. The latter can be sung either straight or, as the quartet did it, humorously.  Continue reading I Only Have Eyes for You →

If I Can Dream

Contest Ballads, Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Rock & Pop

If you are not familiar with this song, do yourself a favor and find a clip of Elvis Presley singing it. This plaintive plea drives and drives and drives, as 2014 international champ Musical Island Boys showed us so well. In 2017 this song became a LABBS “polecat” number, sung by all of their ladies.

Second Star to the Right

Contest Ballads, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Women's Room

A beautiful ballad from the animated film Peter Pan, this song was debuted at the 2009 Anaheim International contest by The Alliance. Tim Waurick has recorded fine learning tracks for both men and women. While this piece stands alone just fine, it would make a lovely companion to a Peter Pan or pirate medley in contest.  Continue reading Second Star to the Right →

Smile

Contest Ballads, Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Openers & Closers, Shows & Glows, Women's Room

As sung by The New Tradition, Nightlife, Ringmasters and many other groups, this piece is really powerful. You could close your shows with it or sing it in just about any other position. This arrangement is my all-time favorite. It works well for BHS, HI, etc. contests, but I am not sure about SAI. Continue reading Smile →

Something Inside So Strong

Inspirational & Religious, Learning Tracks Men's, Learning Tracks Women's, Master List, Shows & Glows, Women's Room

Arranged to help the Dutch Association of Barbershop Singers (DABS) celebrate its 20th anniversary, this song is as strong as it gets. It has been used for protest and inspiration by a wide variety of oppressed groups, though anyone can relate to its powerful, uplifting message.  Continue reading Something Inside So Strong →

Great fun for singers and audiences alike, this lively tune is available in both contest and show versions. It is easily one of my most popular charts. Power Play sang it with much success, and it works just fine for the ladies as well.  Continue reading Swinging on a Star →
