Gregorian Chant Academy

The Gregorian Chant Academy was founded by Christopher Jasper in January, 2021 to make in-depth, systematic study of Gregorian Chant accessible to everyone. The mission of the GCA is to bring souls to Christ thru the sacred beauty and prayer of chant, restore it as the primary music in the Roman liturgies, and help cantors and directors to truly understand the chant as a sacred musical language.

Christopher Jasper was raised in the traditional Roman liturgy from birth and has assiduously studied & sung chant for 25+ years & directed for 15+ years. He has studied with Dom Saulnier at the Abbey of Solesmes & the Centre d'Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance in Tours. He is a former postulant & current Oblate of the Benedictine Abbey of St Benedict in Norcia, Italy.

Exciting Updates!

I know I’ve been away for quite a while this year — but that’s about to change!

Now that I’ve completed the full remake of my online Master Course, opened enrollment, and taken a much-needed break, I’m finally preparing a new series of chant videos for you all. 🙌

Even more exciting: I’m very likely signing a contract with a major Catholic management and distribution company in the coming days, and plan to produce several professional Gregorian Chant albums soon. 🎶

But I need your input!
For these upcoming albums, which artist name do you think sounds best? (See the poll below 👇)

The first option uses my already recognized brand name — simple and clear, but a bit more “educational.”

The other options build on that name, adding a word to highlight the performing side, though they’re a touch longer.

What do you think fits best for an artist name on chant albums?
Vote below and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Stay tuned for new videos and official album announcements! ✨

One of the joys of teaching Gregorian Chant is witnessing the rapid transformation of my students. Here is just one example of a student with no previous chant knowledge or experience, singing the offertory Stetit Angelus after only 2 months! Click here to watch: www.gregorianchantacademy.com/student_results

Moments like these remind me why this work matters so deeply: the ancient sung prayer of the Church is alive and relatively easy to learn.

Enrollment for the Gregorian Chant Master Course opens this Sept 1–9 and only comes once a year!

🎶 Thinking of launching a LIVE Gregorian Chant Cohort! Would You Join? 🎶

I'm considering starting a 12-week live training program in Gregorian Chant — and I want to know how interested you'd be in joining!

We’d meet once a week for 2 hours, focusing equally on:

🎼 Theory & analysis (modes, verbal/melodic phrase structure, semiology, etc.)

🎤 Live performance & feedback (refining technique, ensemble work, interpretation)

🎁 Bonus: Each participant would get one free private singing lesson with me (online or in-person if you're local)

Prerequisites for the program would include:

1. A basic understanding of square notation

2. Ability to solfège

3. Some familiarity with psalmody (chanting the Psalms)

To ensure the best experience for everyone, students would be accepted through a short application + intake quiz — so the program could be tailored around your strengths, weaknesses, and goals.

If this sounds exciting to you, drop a comment below and let me know your level of interest. Your feedback will help me decide if this becomes a reality!

🔔New Episode Alert! 🔔 Join me this Saturday, March 29, 2025, on my other channel - Pipes With Augustine - for a LIVE interview with liturgical expert Gregory DiPippo to unpack “1955: The First Crack in Holy Week’s Sacred Armor”.
What happened to the Church’s most sacred liturgies in 1955? How did modernists subtly reshape Holy Week, setting the stage for Vatican II and beyond? Gregory will dive into the history, the changes, and the fallout—revealing how these shifts may have altered not just the rites, but the very soul of Catholic doctrine. Expect smoke, tradition, and truth-seeking in equal measure--and YOU can be part of it! 🎙️

📅 When: Saturday, March 29 @ 10:00am PDT
🔗 Where: Join us directly in the studio: riverside.fm/studio/pipes-with-augustine-studio

Light your favorite pipe, grab a cup of coffee (or whiskey), and pull up a chair as we explore the richness of the pre-1955 Holy Week liturgy and what was lost by the changes. Best part? You can post your own questions in the chat during the interview—let’s make this a true conversation!🗣

⚠️ A little hiccup: YouTube and my livestream platform are refusing to play nice (tech gremlins at work!), so we’re hosting this exclusively on Riverside. It’s a more intimate setup, and I can’t wait to connect with you there.
Don’t miss this chance to be part of a live Pipes With Augustine experience—and your voice matters. Who’s joining me?!🥃
