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.
Your Formation Path
Wherever you are in the journey, there is a place for you.
Whether you’ve never read a note of square notation or you’ve been chanting for decades and want to deepen your practice, the path forward starts in the same place: with a teacher who has walked it.

Gregorian Chant Made Simple is a free 40-minute workshop with Christopher Jasper. No music background required. In forty minutes, you will go from complete beginner to reading and singing your first chant phrase — exactly as it was meant to be sung.

Gregorian Chant is not performance. It is the sung prayer of the Roman Catholic Church — the voice of the Church raised to God in the form He has loved for fifteen centuries.

Formed by
the tradition itself.
Christopher Jasper was born and raised a traditional Catholic, hearing chant and sacred music from birth and singing in choirs since 1997. He has studied under the most respected chant masters in the Solesmes lineage, lived the monastic Benedictine life as a postulant in Norcia, and spent nearly three decades singing chant and two decades directing chant in liturgical settings across the United States and Europe. The GCA is the fruit of everything he has learned — built to give others what took him a lifetime to gather.
Christopher is also the founder and director of Carolingia, GCA’s professional liturgical ensemble. Learn more →

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!

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.
