Good video and solid plan I think when people say it takes years to become proficient at chanting, they are including in proficiency things like: Typikon, managing the chant stand, communicating with the priest, and most importantly figuring out how to begin to attend to your spiritual life when your role at church has changed. I don't know how one can learn all this without having chanted through the whole cycle of services a few times. Another interesting thing to think about: practicing an hour a day is awesome, but you must be careful that your students are practicing correctly. Otherwise they are hammering incorrect habits into their head. In the absence of being beside a master chanter for the duration of one's training, it's very important to listen to good recordings. Thanks for the vid
Very solid points, and very true. Those are all aspects that take time, and having a solid foundation in notation helps! I agree with practicing, I hope to offer a video on how to practice effectively and efficiently without becoming frustrated. Practicing is problem solving for much of the process, and having good tools help.
Hey Michael. Your channel has been key for me. Can you do a video breaking down how the liturgy works and the tones progress. More specifically Im trying to figure out which version of the liturgical chants do not change week by week, I think learning those would be a good start. So far I’ve learned how to chant “Only Begotten Son” which I think is the second antiphon. I know that the third antiphon is an apolitikion so it changes weekly.
Brother, keep up your work. It is truely blessed. ☦️
We appreciate all that you do, Michael. Very glad to have had you as my teacher.
I see the Lebanese flag, I click. God bless you, I wish you the best for your exams!

Congrats on 2500 subscribers.
Will pray for you for the MCAT! Also, can you do Paralegi and Melos for "In Thee who art Full of Grace" in Plagal 4th mode by Anthimos?
Very helpful! Thank you so much! God bless you!
