"I appreciated the ease of communication between everyone in class. I tend to be very inquisitive and love to ask questions and the way the class was managed made this very easy. There is often a TON of information to get through, but Angela was very adept at letting us know when there was a lot of material to cover, yet also making time for questions when/if they should arise. The most valuable takeaway from the course wast the vast breadth of resources that are out there with regard to sacred music. Not only the numerous Church documents that provide guidance, but all the additional resources we were introduced to throughout the course."

~ Jonathan, cantor and Level I student
