About this title

Synopsis

A Cappella 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Contemporary A Cappella Singing by teacher, performer, and producer Rob Dietz is a practical guide to understanding how contemporary a cappella is created, organized, and performed. Designed for singers, choir directors, educators, and vocal group leaders, this resource explains the nuts, bolts, and artistry behind modern vocal ensemble music in clear, accessible language.

Ideal for beginners launching a new group or strengthening a developing program, the book focuses on usable fundamentals that support rehearsal, classroom instruction, and independent learning. Readers gain insight into how parts function together, how contemporary style differs from traditional choral settings, and how to build a confident, cohesive ensemble sound.

Digital access to online audio is included, featuring professionally produced examples created by the author. These tracks demonstrate key concepts from the book, including warm-ups, bass vocal techniques, arranging approaches, and stylistic elements central to contemporary a cappella performance. Hearing the concepts in action helps singers internalize balance, blend, rhythm, and overall group coordination.

Drawing from extensive professional experience and contributions from a wide community of a cappella experts, Rob Dietz connects technique with practical musical results. The guidance supports directors organizing programs, student leaders forming ensembles, and singers transitioning from traditional choir into modern vocal group formats.

Endorsed by respected figures in the a cappella community, this guide serves as both an educational foundation and a dependable handbook for building skill, creativity, and ensemble precision.

“The perfect - dare I say pitch perfect - book for anyone looking to start an a cappella group or program!” - Deke Sharon, Arranger/Producer: The Sing-Off, Pitch Perfect
