We are happy to share this press release from Mr Christopher Jasper, via his new website.
For the past year I have been working on my YouTube channel “Gregorian Chant Academy”, but have now finally published a website for it: https://www.gregorianchantacademy.com.
Currently it serves two main functions: first, as a place where people can purchase the chant recordings I make for the YouTube channel; and second, as a place where people can register for a new, interactive, immersive yet personal online chant course that I am launching, beginning next month on March 12, feast of St Gregory the Great. If you know of anyone who may be interested, or can help spread the message in any way, I would greatly appreciate it. Space limited to 12, 10 seats remaining. Next course will begin on April 18, Easter Monday.A New Way of Learning Gregorian Chant
This new, interactive course takes place within a new app (for desktop and phone) called “Volley.” It’s like text messaging but with video! You can learn more about the app here: https://www.volleyapp.com/volley-for-education
What normally take years and thousands of dollars to learn, can now be learned in months, at a fraction of the cost, from the comfort of your own home (or on the go) and on your own schedule! With 8 modules broken down into multiple tutorials (see the list below), this new course is will take you from 0 - 100, from knowing next to nothing about chant to possessing the knowledge and skills to sing or direct with depth of understanding and precision.
Subjects include:
History and Liturgy of the ChantSquare Notation
Solesmes Method
Semiology/Paleography
Modes
Psalmody
Conducting and Interpretation
Vocal training for Chant
“Mid-term” and “Final” live chant rehearsals via Zoom; for more information, visit the Course page on the Academy website here: Online Chant Master-Course
