NEW! ToneTutor 101 – An Introduction to the Eight Tones October 14 2011

Well, we didn't make our target release date of the Exaltation of the Cross. But it's finally here – ToneTutor 101: An Audio Course in the Eight Tones of the Russian Orthodox Church.  We didn't intend its release for the feast of St. Roman the Melodist, but we couldn't have planned a more appropriate day.  Happy nameday, Fr. Roman!  Fr. Roman Krasovsky's course in Church Music 101 at Holy Trinity Seminary was the inspiration for ToneTutor 101, and we are deeply indebted to him.

We have given this course our all, and we hope and pray that it serves its purpose well.  Please write to us with your comments, questions, and suggestions – we plan to compile an FAQ page and to incorporate suggestions into future editions and audio courses.

ToneTutor 101 – an introduction to the 8 tones of the Russian Orthodox Church September 06 2011

Coming this fall by popular demand: ToneTutor 101 – an audio course in the Russian liturgical tones, covering all 8 tones and their various melodies.  Based on the system used at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY, which has been proven effective for students of all levels.  Great for the beginning singer or the experienced choir director who wants to improve fluency in the tones.  Release is slated for September 14/27, the Exaltation of the Cross.
