The course begins on Wednesday July 27 at 7.30pm.
It costs £10 for the five weeks, which includes all course materials and tuition.
Greg Tunesi, a member of Harrogate Harmony, said:
“Being part of an ensemble, creating a harmony in music and in friendship is good fun, relaxed and informal. When you sing well amongst 16 to 18 other men, it’s an amazing feeling and produces a beautiful sound.
“Those attending will have singing in four-part harmony explained and demonstrated to them. They will then be guided as to which voice part, tenor, lead, baritone or bass best suits their voice”
