Ministering through Music
Keyboard to Keyboard
¡Cantemos Amén!
a resource for all who serve God’s call through music
Presented by GIA Publications, Inc.
Sing Amen is a communal online media project from GIA Publications, Inc. Our goal is to connect with liturgical musicians everywhere; together we will share wisdom, find out where we feel lost and where we feel solid, discover places we can reach out to each other, and more.
Sing Amen will currently feature three contributing bloggers: Jennifer Kerr Budziak, Marilyn Biery, and Peter Kolar. Each on their own page will focus on their particular area of expertise in liturgical music.
The site will feature blog posts, audio podcasts, video resources, and a helpful and active community to help answer questions you may have.
So come in and join us, and let the people Sing Amen!
