(This is the Beta version. Those who purchase this version will get automatic free access to the Alpha 2.0 version when it becomes available. Coming soon.)
This course is intended for those lay Catholics who simply wish to learn enough about Gregorian chant to be able to sing the Divine Office (Liturgy of the Hours) at home or perhaps in their parish. The Alpha 2.0 version will be much improved providing a much clearer and easier to understand/ learn format.
