How I learned sheet music was: I was hearing church chants and it helped me get into a repetitive circle. After a while I started to connect the sounds I had memorised to notation

I'm going to have to sit down and seriously look at this tbh. I want to learn and I'm in this for the long haul.

Once you can really familiarise yourself with certain tones it'll begin to make sense

Memorising how it sounds definitely helps firstly

Btw I was curious, do any of you know Fr. Spyridon on YouTube? If so, what are your thoughts on him?

I’ve heard that there’s some controversy around him but when I watched his videos he seemed pretty decent

To be honest the Simonos Petras Monastery of Mount Athos, whose dependency ( Metochion) this Monastery is, has got the most organised Orthodox Monasticism in Western Europe.

I've been looking at orthodoxy since 2021 and everything outside it is just falling away and loosing all meaning for me. I'm seriously thinking about devoting my life to God, but its still early for me and I have much to learn and do yet and no idea what form that God's Will will take for me. I will continue to pray for guidance and I don't want to rush anything or act in haste.

Amazing things are happening and I'm experiencing things that are hard to put into words. its like my mind and heart have become a battleground all the time. my prayer has increased in type and length and I'm fasting more, and feeling the benefits.

Glory to God.

I used to play guitar and read tabs but that's the breadth of my musical education, unfortunately.

I see all these things about tones in my prayer book and I'd like to get a better understanding of and be able to engage with prayer and liturgical material more deeply and reverently.

I want to sing God's praise when I pray at home or on my walk to work but I'm winging it and that's probably not how He wants it to be done.
