    "The [Online Chant Course - Level II] was very well structured allowing participants to build upon their personal experience with chant and existing knowledge and skills. Participants had ample opportunity for questions and exploration of alternative performance interpretations of various chants. Having attended several chant workshops, I came to the class with knowledge from a variety of sources, and Angela brought those pieces of knowledge together into a cohesive package.

    "Angela is a friendly and encouraging instructor. She strives to have each participant succeed in understanding and performing chant. She was very thorough in her presentation of the history of chant and the recovery of this beautiful musical expression of our faith in the present.

    ​"I highly recommend this course for anyone who desires to understand the rich musical treasure of the Catholic Church and for those in positions to elevate Sacred Liturgy with music."​
    ​~ Rhonda, music director
