Or perhaps you've been asked +to assemble a schola at your chapel so that you can have Sung Masses? +This guide is for you! + +This page contains everything I wish I knew when I first began chanting for the +traditional Mass. It's not an exhaustive reference, but it will teach you the +jargon needed to get your feet off the ground. + +This is a work in progress. Please [email me](mailto:"Cullum Smith" <cullum@sacredheartsc.com>) +with any corrections or suggestions. + +## Target Audience + +This guide assumes that you have a general familiarity with the traditional Mass +and liturgical calendar. + +It also assumes that you have some existing musical skill. You should be familiar +with rhythm, standard music notation, solfège, etc. Ideally, you have experience +singing with choirs or playing a musical instrument. + +I don't mean to say that modern music skills are *required* to learn chant—sometimes +it can actually be a stumbling block! But since most people come to the +schola with some prior music experience, that's who I'll be writing for. diff --git a/src/index.md b/src/index.md index 4e044ee..d144ad9 100644 --- a/src/index.md +++ b/src/index.md @@ -10,12 +10,10 @@ I'm a computer person located in South Carolina.
