The breakdown of the 12 sessions is:

  1. Chant Technique
  2. Rhythm, Notes, and Latin Pronunciation

Please note, that if you take this course you are under no obligation to join the choir or chant club, this course is open to everyone, even those who can’t sing, all you need is an appreciation for the Church’s official treasury of Sacred Music, and a desire to learn.

The course will begin on Thursday, September 14th. There will be no classes on October 26th, November 2nd, or November 9th.
