If You Can Sing Joy to the World You Can Learn to Read and Sing Gregorian Chant
On our website, a complete set of slides of pages from the book are posted with music to hear and practice within our Free Chant School. The book has links to these free files.
Once we work through the intervals, which does not take long, you then begin singing actual Gregorian Chants in English. Trying to learn to sing in Latin and sing Gregorian Chant is like trying to relearn to ride a bike and juggle at the same time - two different activities. Here you get to hear chant sung by one of the finest chant singers our time and learn to sing along.
How successful is this book? One woman and her 7 year old daughter were at a fast food restaurant and the daughter saw her mother looking at the practice files from the internet. Her daughter asked to try it and was reading and singing chant before they left the restaurant.
The book has been featured as part of the curriculum of a large homeschool group.
