Types of VHU classes

VHU 2021 has several elective types: electives, workshops, panel discussions, reading sessions, and labs. Each has a different level of participation and faculty engagement, but all are designed to enrich the learner.

All electives are stand-alone classes that are 50-minutes long, though some classes may reference other sessions. By design, electives are content-driven instruction, meaning the delivery of the content comprises the bulk of the class time. There will always be room for questions and, depending on the faculty member, experimentation and implementation.
Workshops are 50- or 110-minute sessions that have less content to share than a general elective class, but are quite a bit more experiential.
Panel Discussions are 50- or 110-minute sessions that are audience-focused. A moderator facilitates a discussion based on questions received from the audience with the gathered experts.
Reading Sessions are 50- or 110-minute sessions that are focused on an experience singing through music of a genre, theme, or arranger. It is a highly participatory experience.
Labs are 50- or 110-minute sessions that are meant to be hands-on time with an instructor that often use a flipped classroom-style of instruction in which students prepare for the session ahead of time and then explore with instructors.

Private lessons

Private lessons are available during VHU. You will be able to select from private arranging, voice, or conducting. After you’ve purchased the private lesson ticket, you will be able to select the lesson you desire from Sched.

Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) available?

Students may receive graduate college credit or continuing education units/clock hours through Adams State University. Email hu@barbershop.org for details.

What should I expect from the quartet coaching?

A coach of your choosing will work with your group for 60 minutes in a session. Coaching sessions are available in SNG, PER, or MUS. Specific coaching session times are subject to coach and ensemble availability during the month of November. A list of coaches and their availability will be published September 1 2022.

How to use Sched

What is SCHED?

Sched is a conference scheduling platform that will allow you to see all of the courses for VHU and select which sessions you would like to sign up for. If you have been to HU in the last few years or VHU in 2021, you used this same program. In mid-September we will publish the Sched site and you will be sent an invitation automatically.

You will be able to search for classes by type or by day and easily sign up to attend a session. Once you add the session to your schedule you will be able to go to that course’s page and—at the appropriate time—join the live Zoom session directly from Sched, or watch the recording of a session that has finished.

How do I enroll in a class?

Once you have found a course you would like to enroll in, there are two ways to add it to your schedule.

From the main schedule listing, you can click on the white circle next to the name to add the course. A black and white checkmark will appear to show that you have successfully added the course.

You can also add a course if you click on the title of the course. Once on the course page, you can click on the white circle next to the course title. A black and white checkmark shows you have successfully enrolled in the course.

Once I enroll in classes, how do I see my full schedule?

To see your full schedule, click on your picture located at the top of the schedule on any page.

Once you are on your profile page, you will see your profile information and then “My Schedule” below your photo. All the courses listed below are those that you have added to your schedule.

How do I print my schedule?

To print your full schedule, click on your picture located at the top of the schedule on any page.

Once you are on your profile page, you will see your profile information and then “My Schedule” below your photo. To the right of “My Schedule”, you will see a “Print” button. Click on “print” to see a printable PDF version of the classes you have enrolled in.

Can I drop an enrolled class for something different?

Yes. We leave classes open to add and drop even after VHU has started. Please make sure that you do drop a class if you are not planning to attend. The classes can fill up, so we want to make sure a spot in the course opens up if you are no longer planning to attend.

To drop a class, click on your picture at the top of the schedule on any page.

Once you are on your profile page, you can click the check on any class. When the checkmark goes away you have dropped the class. Refresh the webpage and the class will be removed from your schedule.

Why am I prevented from adding some classes to my schedule?

Some classes are restricted based on your type of registration. If you only registered for Electives Only, for example, you would be prevented from adding a Seminar to your schedule. If you have any questions or concerns about access to a specific class, please reach out to us at harmonyu@barbershop.org
