Hi Ben, congratulations! What sort of program do you have in mind? Would you meet with them just once, a few times, weekly, biweekly? How much time when you meet with them each session? Dom Sunol's textbook, Gregorian Chant According to the Solesmes Method, might be a good place to start. Susan Treacy's book, A Plain and Easy Introduction to Gregorian Chant, is also wonderful.

There are others on this forum far more knowledgeable than me, but I've given a number of workshops, and also run a year-long program for the Diocese of Peoria. I am working on a syllabus for the Cathedral Chant School now. I can email it to you when it is done (hopefully in another week). It will not sketch out lessons in great detail, but it'll give a pretty detailed scope for each month, including exercises and chants being learned. I can also email you the notes from other shorter workshops I have done, for what they're worth. It'll hopefully at least be able to give you a start, if this is what you are looking for. Just let me know. NB: If my communication is sporadic, it is because I just moved and am starting some new jobs.

BGP I have never heard of the Klarmann book , is it still in print?

Ruth, no it's not. It's a GIA publication from the 1950's. I was thinking of donating it to be scanned (you can find it on ebay every once in a while) what I like about it is that it assumes no musical knowledge and explains things in clear language, avoiding unnecessary terminology when necessary.

BGP, The very best book I've ever used for teaching chant is called "GRegorian Chant Practicum", and is published by Catholic University Press, Washington, D.C. Written by Theodore Marier (need I say more?), and based on work by Justine Ward, it is fabulous. It is pricey ($50.00); but well worth it. You can order it by email or phone, if you get on the Catholic U. Press site.
