Learn to read square notation, pronounce Church Latin, and develop your ear for the modal sound world of chant.
Unlock the eight modes, the rhythmic principles of the medieval manuscripts, and the full liturgical repertoire of Mass and Office.

Gregorian Chant is not repertoire. It is not performance. It is not a style. It is sung prayer — the voice of the Church raised to God in the form He has loved for fifteen centuries.
— Christopher Jasper, Founder · Gregorian Chant AcademyVoices from the Tradition
This course is phenomenal! Having earned my Master's in Music Performance, I can honestly say this course is equivalent to a two-semester upper-level university course, yet still accessible to beginners. A sacred music conference would barely scratch the surface of what this course provides. It's worth every penny and more.
This course was a literal gift from God. The depth of Mr Jasper's knowledge is clear, and this offers the reassurance of learning with a depth of understanding that would not otherwise be possible.
Dr. Ruth Butler Psychologist · USABefore this course, my chant skills were hitherto unrooted in any study. Thanks to Christopher's expert instruction, I was able to confidently sing the Tenebrae Office of Holy Week. Next year, I shall hopefully be leading it.
Sebastian Sanyal United KingdomI've been a priest for 33 years and taught myself Gregorian Chant, but I was never able to fully master it — until now. You have a gift at clearly conveying your message in an engaging manner.
Fr. Anthony Mary, FSSR Priest of 33 years · New ZealandI have only just begun but I've already noticed a distinct difference in the pleasantness of my chanting tone and growing proficiency in sight-reading. Thank you for what you have made here.

Jasper
Christopher is the founder and director of the Gregorian Chant Academy. He was formed in the tradition from childhood, trained under Dom Daniel Saulnier at the Abbey of Solesmes and at the Centre d'Études Supérieures de la Renaissance in Tours — the direct inheritors of the 19th-century chant restoration begun by Dom Guéranger.
He has directed at numerous parishes and institutions, lived as a Benedictine postulant at the Abbey of St. Benedict in Norcia, Italy, and has spent over 25 years studying, directing, and performing sacred chant. He teaches not from a curriculum, but from a life formed by the tradition.
