It was a great session, filled with great Meehan quips, stupid Cesar questions, and insightful Ahearn instruction.

St. Valentine, Pray for Us!

Our next session will be February 14, 2009 from 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM. According to the calendar of the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite it is also the feast of St. Valentine. The feast day does not excuse your absence.
On a daily basis, you should try to do as many of the diction, elocution, etc. drills as possible.

There will be much less warm up next time. Things will get much more interesting as we begin learning how to chant the Divine Office. Warm up on the ride over, or come 20 minutes early if you want to warm up with me.

January's session with all of its warm-ups is available here (MP3 format 57.4MB).
