"What do those little asterisks and crosses mean in my text?"
"How do Gregorian tones work?"
"Can you teach us how to chant the Psalms?"
We get questions just like these every week. In response, Sing the Hours staff has made a step-by-step video lesson guide to help you understand what's going on.
Pronunciation guides, notation, and mp3s to help.

People learn the best when encouraged by a community. That's why we're hosting this through our online community on Patreon, where you can ask questions and post comments on the public board.
We also meet over video call so learners can practice the skills they've picked up and ask any questions they might have.
Sign Up and jump in anytime.
Come learn alongside the Sing the Hours online community as we work our way through the basic, recurring chants of the Liturgy of the Hours.
