GREGORIAN CHANT AT UNSW

I am doing a Diploma of Education (Hist and Engl) at the University of N.S.W. I had to do my history microteaching (we do a practice lesson on our uni classmates and are assessed by our teacher). I decided to do medieval church music. I did a few things but at the end I got the class to sing a Kyrie in ferial tone.

I had the girls standing in the collegial style with the boys encircled around a 'lectern.' I cantored, the boys responded and the girls copied. They weren't too bad!
To top it all of, two of the girls who sang are Muslims and wear the headscarf!

Needless to say I got top marks
