Children’s First Chants is a practical, self-teaching book that enables children (7+) to learn a simple repertoire of Gregorian chants for Holy Mass and various well-known prayers.
Do you want your child to sing but don’t know where to start? Does your child enjoy music and need some inspiration to sing? Whether your child has been singing for years, or not at all, Children’s First Chants will help them grow in their love for sacred music!
St Augustine said that ‘he who sings well, prays twice’ – is there a better way to help children to pray than by teaching them to sing the Liturgy, to sing their prayers, to sing ‘hosanna to the Son of David’?
Children’s First Chants contains simple instructions on how to read and play a selection of 12 Gregorian melodies. Printed on 400 gsm thick paper board, it is suitable for young children. All translations of the Latin texts are provided in an appendix.

Amen
Et Cum Spiritu Tuo

Kyrie
Sanctus
Agnus Dei

Treasure for our children
Children have an uncanny ability for singing and memorising songs, which we ought to cultivate from an early age. With appealing pictures and a clever colour-coded style of notation, this book introduces the youngest singers to our treasury of Gregorian chant and prepares them for a lifetime of singing in the Church.
