    For your free use, I am making available for download the materials I use to teach an introductory workshop on Gregorian chant. There is a full presentation that goes along with a guidebook/handout.

    I've done this workshop twice now with great success. The instructional time is around three hours with a break in the middle. It covers the basics needed to get anybody chanting in English and basic Latin.

    The materials are shared in a public Evernote notebook where I'll keep the materials update and put new stuff when I can get to it.

    Have fun and please let me know if you have any questions!

    NEW UPDATE!!!!

    My wonderful bride (the same one who created the beautiful materials for the workshop) has now created a Children's Companion book to the workshop!

    Let us know what you think!

    Thanks, and reminder, the workshop is tomorrow.

    My choir director at the time used "A Bond of Unity" in his intro seminar when I first learned chant 7 years ago. I've graduated to the director's post and am preparing a course for my community. I was hoping to access PDFs of Carl's material but the Evernote link is not working for me (I have a free account so I don't know if that's a factor). Is this content housed anywhere else?

    I've just started last September, so here's what I did.

    Start at the CMAA resources page, specifically on how to start a schola.

    There are many more experienced people here who can share more, such as
    How to Start a Chant-Based Sacred Music Program in 8 Not Easy and Time-Consuming Steps

    Here is my first Powerpoint presentation on Gregorian chant. I now see it's too focused on history and less on celebration of the music, but that's where I started from. At 25MB It's too big to attach here, so it's on Google drive.

    Here is our current parish list of links to learning resources such as the Pontifical Institute videos and the Corpus Christi Watershed videos and recordings.
