To clarify, we have gone through page 20 in rehearsal so far, so everything should be colored through page 20.

The coloring assignments aren't too taxing... follow the instructions on the page for what to color. If there are no instructions, just color in the neumes/do-clef. In these cases, the neumes can be any color you would like, as long as they are grouped by syllable. (e.g. the two clivus notes would be the same color, or all the diamonds in an inclinatus should be the same color...). I hope you all are enjoying a fun way to learn about how to read chant! Like I told the kids, it's GREAT if they learn all the names for the neumes, but it is not required. My goal is for them to know how to SING them when they see them on the page :)

I know it's another thing to remember in your busy schedules, but I tried to create something that wouldn't be terribly invasive, yet provide some reinforcement of the ideas throughout the week. I also talked to the choristers about being sure to pack their choir binders with their school books ON TUESDAY NIGHT so they're not forgotten...I know I have been the victim of morning forgetfulness/craziness far too many times :P

Also, just a reminder that all the practice videos are up and waiting! The harmony on Hear Us, Our Father is particularly lovely, so I would love to be able to do it justice...

Thanks so much for all your dedication and hard work :)

I'm excited that we can relax for a bit with our first Mass back...it doesn't entail nearly as much music as Christmas, so we can actually get a bit more comfortable with the music again. All of the music is posted already on the Lenten Mass page, and the Youtube Playlist is current as well.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
