So I would say that it takes an extra two hours a week to learn our parts and practice.” “We only rehearse once a week for two hours, but we have to learn and practice our parts by ourselves. It’s more contemporary, with a lot of pop music,” Hendrickson said. Hendrickson mentioned how singing a cappella varies from the classical style and how much time he spends for the group. Duly Noted recently won the riff-off, an a cappella competition at The Wall. Although Hendrickson had already auditioned for a few groups, he was able to become the vocal percussionist for Duly Noted. He said Jake Tengelsen, a former Vocal Point singer, began the group and personally invited him to come audition and join. Scott Hendrickson, sophomore at BYU and a cappella percussionist for the group Duly Noted, explained his journey into the world of a cappella. Although Vocal Point and Noteworthy are the only BYU-sponsored performing groups, Winn estimated there are around 13 a cappella groups at BYU.

He mentioned that group requests have become more frequent since more people became aware of a cappella singing.

This style captured the attention of many with its reliance on the human ability to make instrumental sounds strictly by mouth. A cappella is a popular singing style in colleges around the country. Now, even more students are making music “all from (their) mouths.”īYU A Cappella Club President Matt Winn said singing has always been a major part of the extracurricular path that makes up college life.

The Provo-based a cappella group won the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella competition in 2007 and competed in NBC’s “The Sing-Off” in 2009. "We loved it! Absolutely everything about this is beautiful!" "Great job, ladies!" Vocal Point wrote in the YouTube video's comment section. Vocal Point was impressed with Noteworthy's video. Noteworthy members Alyssa Aramaki, Sarah Cunha, Alyssa Flake, Rachael Holt, Allyssa Jex, Jessica Johnson, Janae Klumpp, Tressa Roberts and Taylor Whitlock were led by their director Keith Evans, a former member of BYU's all-male a cappella group, Vocal Point.
