The purpose of Harmony International is educational with the goal of teaching and training its members in musical harmony and appreciation, particularly of the barbershop style of singing, which is four-part harmony without instrumental accompaniment. The organization is international, with chapters throughout the United States and most major cities around the world. Educational weekends are available throughout the region, including the New England states and parts of New York, Canada and Nova Scotia. The King Philip Chapter includes women of all ages from the towns of Walpole, Franklin, Foxboro, Wrentham, Sheldonville, Norfolk, Medway, Hopkinton, Holliston, Bellingham and Woonsocket, Rhode Island. All of these benefits are available at an affordable price.
Membership is open to all ages.
Dances are usually held on the second and fourth Friday of the month at the Union Congregational Church hall on Rhoades Avenue in East Walpole. The club caller is Jane Carlson. Round dancing, cued by Harriet Clark, is part of every regularly scheduled club dance. A Mainstream Plus workshop will precede the classes. Dance schedules and times are listed in the local media.
