I want to assist my psalmists/cantors in improving their singing and poise. I’m planning to offer some summer training for them, but in the meantime and as preparation I found an online cantor training course that I think has excellent resources, and I thought I’d share it with you and promote it.
Here’s a link to a YouTube video that explains how the online course works and shows some of its features: https://youtu.be/82egvWswaW0
To enroll an entire parish for lifetime access, including every update that is made to the course, only costs $117. I think that’s a great deal. There is an option to enroll a single individual for $67, but the parish enrollment is vastly more cost-effective.
The only drawback is that to allow my parish musicians to access the course I have to provide them with my login credentials: email and password for that site. The course owner and instructor, Gessica, offered to set up individual enrollment names and passwords for all my musicians, but I didn’t want to put her through that trouble. She would probably extend the same offer to you, if you preferred to give your musicians their own separate access to the course.
Hope you found this information helpful, and I think if you purchase a parish course enrollment you will be very pleased with the resources and your cantors would learn a lot.
