Music Workshops Being Offered in Diocese

Date	Saturday, Jan 27, 2018	Sunday, February 11, 2018
Place	St. Alphonsus, Mount Pleasant	St. Joseph, DeWitt
Time	10am-2pm (with lunch)	1pm-4pm

 
These workshops, presented by Dr. David Pitt, PhD, of Loras College, will begin with an exploration of the role of music ministry in the liturgy, the distinction between being a ‘music minister’ and a ‘musician,’ and the spirituality of serving in music ministry. Then, Dr. Pitt will spend time reviewing the particular roles of, and skills needed to be, a choir director and a cantor. Dr. Pitt will direct the participants, demonstrating how one might approach directing a choir in singing hymns, psalms, and the parts of the Mass. Cantors will have the opportunity to practice their skills individually and receive feedback. Directors, instrumentalists, cantors, and choir members are invited to attend.
