With a little effort, anybody can learn how to read Gregorian chant! However, as a teacher, it is difficult to know where to begin and what progression to follow. No doubt some singers will, with profit, go through the following lessons “out of order.”

[
Lesson 1: The Principles of “Movable Do”

Lesson 2: Intervallic Relationships

Lesson 3: Do Clef and Fa Clef

Lesson 4: A Practical Example

Lesson 5: Names of the Notes

Lesson 6: The Vatican Edition of the Chant

Lesson 7: Syllabic Moræ Vocis in the Vatican Edition

Lesson 8: Salicus vs. Scandicus

Lesson 9: Ecclesiastical Pronunciation of Latin

Lesson 10: Modality and Psalm Tones

Lesson 11: Thoughts on Gregorian Rhythm

Great! I had posted this in L&S, but I didn’t think about posting it here.
 
Thanks for this!

Now I got to practice my singing in general… so my neighbors don’t call the police. 😉

You’ve done a great job of posting the lessons individually - a really good idea. I had always thought that Gregorian chant would be too difficult to learn, but these lessons make it much less daunting! Thanks.
 
Thank you for the list of links. I am currently trying to learn Gregorian Chant and also relearn latin so I can use the Solesmes books more effectively (among other things)
