This is the first workbook in a series written by Sister Gemma Gertken (1894-1990) to teach a Gregorian Chant course for summer school classes. It teaches the fundamentals of Gregorian Chant. The lessons consist of prenote reading activities that prepare the way for the actual note reading and note singing instructions. Each page in the workbook is used as an exercise in listening to instructions and following directions. A teacher's manual for the coures indicates it was a forty-five minute class period for a one-month religion vacation school. Sister Gemma Gertken, OSB, taught music and piano and wrote curriculum.

The school developed a printing press in 1871 and produced many materials in the Dakota language.
