As part of a continuous effort to promote liturgia cum dignitate et gratia, hereare some topics which you may wish to consider for Music Ministry formation.

Choir SpiritualityFocuses on the habits which form the spirituality of a choir. Models after theSacred Heart of Jesus.

Introduction to the Mass An overview of the Mass, taking into consideration the GIRM and a briefunderstanding of the different parts of the Mass.

The Mass we Celebrate, The Songs That we Sing Focuses on what is Liturgical Music and some guidelines on selecting songs forMass, based on documents such as Sacrosanctum Concilium, GIRM, Musicam Sacram,etc.

The Liturgical Year - An IntroductionFocuses on what is the Liturgical Year and a walkthrough of the main elements ofthe Liturgical Year.

***
I think we can do more on the choir spirituallity formation.
Eg. Bible cells, short sharing, intercessary prayers.
Maryanne commented once that people come late to skip opening prayers.....my reaction was !!!!! gasp. Really?
We could be like Peter fishing through the night, until Jesus tells us to put in our nets, our efforts may be fruitless.
