This video was most helpful to a retired American Baptist pastor seeking to learn how to sing the psalms. The published nomenclature of the eight tones of the psalms confuses me, but to have such great examples of them sung was extremely helpful in getting started. I read a psalm a day. Now I'll attempt to sing a psalm a day -- at least for a while. Bless you!
I’d add to that, that most folks sing better they think; very few people are truly “tone-deaf.” Most folks just need some practice and some tips! Regular psalms singing has certainly been what honed my own singing voice!
Is the workshop online as well? I know is like a year later 😅. But I’d be really interested in something like that, as I would really like to be able to chant morning and evening prayer.
Do you know of a guide on youtube for learning to sing? I been trying to sing plainchant for a year but struggle with the basics. Just got the St. Dunstan's Psalter today

I'm so very glad it was helpful!
Such a rich, sonorous voice.
This was so helpful and I always remember when I sing the Psalms God hears perfectly no matter how bad I sound to human ears

Thank you this beautiful video 😊
My pleasure 😊
Peregrinus is my favourite tone! I love St. Dunstan's Psalter, we use it in the western-rite Antiochian Orthodox Church.

I’ll see if I can track down the original video. It was on the old diocesan channel, but I think that has been revamped.

I don’t. But, what exactly are your difficulties? My own experience was that singing with others and practice usually solves them over time
I know almost nothing about singing and have no one to sing with
