Mr Sebastian Sanyal, UK
"Christopher's Master Course has been of great assistance in developing my chant skills, which were hitherto unrooted in any study. Before, I could ably sing Gregorian chant thanks to several years of singing in a schola, but had never sat down to learn its ins and outs. One can really become a knowledgeable practitioner of this sacred art if one puts enough time into watching Christopher's lectures and reading the extra materials provided. In these videos, he synthesizes the many facets of chant together with its liturgical, aesthetic, historical and theoretical underpinnings in a clear and methodical way. Thanks to this course, I was able to confidently sing the marathon Tenebrae Office of Holy Week this year (2023). Next year, I shall hopefully be leading it! Highly recommended, and especially praise Christopher for his quick and detailed responses to questions from students."

“Mr. Christopher Jasper is a very knowledgeable and highly experienced gregorianist, this course is the most comprehensive in terms of information and theoretical knowledge of Gregorian Chant. I highly recommend this course, regardless of price. It's worth way more than it costs.”
Mrs Laura Jagas
"I highly recommend the Master Course to those who are in a choir, a schola, or simply for those seeking to further their knowledge and appreciation of Gregorian Chant. From start to finish, I have greatly enjoyed everything about the course. Through it, Mr. Christopher Jasper provides a very informative, in-depth, interesting, unbiased, and comprehensive study of Gregorian Chant. This course has left me not only with a greater knowledge of chant, but, most importantly, a great love for the 'sung prayer of the Church'. Before this course, I could easily have said that I had a preference for polyphony and other forms of Sacred Music; now that my love and appreciation for chant has grown, thanks to this course, Gregorian Chant is easily my favorite.
The unit on History provides a great introduction to the course. Further, the units on 'The Solemn Method' and 'Semiology' are taught from a very unbiased approach, which allows the student to become immersed in various styles of the Solemn Fathers. The final unit on 'Voice and Directing' provides a great practical application of that which was taught throughout the course.

"This course was a literal gift from God. Despite feeling a deep connection with God through Gregorian Chant, as a beginner I was feeling lost and on the brink of quitting my choir until l discovered this course. It is such a pleasure to learn from someone who is so knowledgeable and who teaches that the Chant is first and foremost prayer; that its importance is not just as a performance, but a bridge to God. The depth of Mr Jasper's knowledge is clear and this course offers me the reassurance of learning what I need to know with a depth of understanding that would not otherwise be possible. Having received my Doctorate in Psychology, I can also say that the price of this course is very generous!"
Mrs Salma Horvath, USA
"This course is phenomenal! Having received my Masters in Music Performance, I can honestly say this course is what I was waiting for my entire musical career while I was in college and too busy to attend those 'colloquiums.' It's all the chant knowledge I wish I had when I was directing choirs. The quality of this course is like a two-semester upper-college course (yet still accessible to beginners) at a fraction of the cost! Completely online, you can study at your own pace without having to uproot your life to attend a sacred music conference, which would barely scratch the surface of what this course provides, and is unmatched in its spiritual element. Mr Jasper demystifies the chant in a very methodical fashion, walking with you every step of the way. And being able to contact him directly with any questions has been invaluable. This course is phenomenal and worth every penny and more!"
Ms Grace Harder
“I think it's incredible what Christopher has done, and even my music theory teacher wants to take it now! (I'm a music major at my local college). Thank you for everything you do! The Church really needs it right now!”
Ms. Amy Marie, USA
"This course has been remarkably helpful! As a member of my parish choir, having just graduated from High School and aspiring to join a traditional Religious order in the near future, I researched options for diving deeper into the world of Gregorian Chant when I found Mr. Jasper’s Youtube channel. I found his videos so practical as well as inspiring that I decided to sign up for his online Master Course! His courses have greatly aided me in the above-mentioned outlets of my life. I would encourage anyone with a love for Sacred Music -- no matter your experience-- to consider Mr. Jasper’s Course as an easy and concrete way to grow in appreciation and understanding of Gregorian Chant."
