One of the most significant liturgical ministries
that has emerged in the ongoing liturgical reform is the role of the
Cantor. The evolution of this ministry has grown beyond the initial
"song leader" to one of prayer leadership for the sung worship of
the gathered assembly. The skills and gifts called for are diverse:
musical, liturgical, pastoral and spiritual.
In this two part video series, experienced cantors
and workshops leaders Bonnie Faber and David Haas together with 30
parish cantors, explore the many practical, ministerial, musical and
liturgical aspects of this most important ministry.
Enhance your knowledge and skills as a cantor and
singer, enjoy and learn from the practical evaluation sessions with
the participants, and experience the witness of cantors truly
committed to their calling!

The most important task for an organist is to
accompany the congregational song. All organists, regardless of
training or experience, need regular reminders of the basic skills
which enable the congregation to sing with confidence. This
video/workbook course in organ hymn accompanying will serve the
needs of beginning and more advanced organists as they continue to
improve the skills needed to be leaders of congregational singing.
