Sing the
Ancient Prayer.
You were made for this.
You have heard it — in a recording, in a monastery, in the silence after the last note fades — and something in you recognised it. The Gregorian Chant Academy exists to give you a clear path forward.
You feel called to this. Every resource you've tried assumes knowledge you don't have. Every YouTube video contradicts the last. You are not lost — you simply haven't had a guide.
The Gregorian Chant Academy forms Catholic musicians who can pray, lead, and sing with confidence — in the parish, in the home, and in the heart. We do not teach music. We form singers who pray.
Begin wherever you are.
Go as far as you dare.
Three paths forward. Each one built for a different stage of the journey. All rooted in the same living tradition.
No prior music reading required. Learn square notation from scratch, pronounce Ecclesiastical Latin, and trace the full history of Gregorian Chant in over four hours of clear, unhurried instruction.

The complete formation system — from square notation through the eight modes, Psalmody, Mass propers, and advanced semiology. Twenty-four hours of instruction built on the living Solesmes tradition.

Live personal coaching uniting ancient tradition with modern vocal science. Your voice is not the obstacle — you simply haven't been shown how to use it. USA only.
Learn more →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 Academy
Formed by
the tradition itself.
- Studied under Dom Daniel Saulnier — Abbey of Solesmes & Centre d'Études Supérieures, Tours
- Mentored by Msgr. Alberto Turco — disciple of Eugène Cardine & Dom Jean Claire
- Former Benedictine postulant — Monastery of Norcia, Italy
- 25+ years directing sacred music in parishes & cathedrals
- Founder of the world's first international online Gregorian Chant conference
Christopher Jasper left Hollywood to dedicate his life to sacred music. He has studied under the most respected living scholars in the Solesmes lineage, lived the Benedictine charism from the inside, and spent over two decades directing chant in liturgical settings across the United States. The GCA is the fruit of everything he has learned — built to give others what took him a lifetime to gather.

walked this path.
This course was a literal gift from God. The depth of Mr Jasper's knowledge is clear and this course offers me the reassurance of learning with a depth of understanding that would not otherwise be possible.
Dr. Ruth Butler USA · Doctorate in PsychologyBefore 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 KingdomHaving 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. Worth every penny and more.

alone in this.
One of the deepest pains in this tradition is isolation — being the only person in your parish who cares about chant. The Cantor's Cloister is a private global community of people exactly like you, for just $5 a month.

The Church needs
your voice.
You have felt the call. There is no better time, and no more fitting place to begin, than here — with the people who have made it their life's work to hand this tradition on.
