Michael Azar Music

This channel focuses on teaching Byzantine chant, singing technique, and music in general. It is run by me, Michael Azar and I hope you enjoy the videos! In this channel, you will find chanting tutorials, singing technique videos, and videos on music theory in general. You will also find several of my performances, notably many of my own compositions.

Here are some things about me: I was tonsured a reader on October 18th, 2020, and I have been chanting since 2013. I earned my certification in Byzantine Chant from Holy Cross Hellenic College in May 2021 with the highest grade possible, excellent. I have also studied classical, opera, and musical theater singing since 2013. Outside of singing, I play piano and saxophone, which I have also done since 2013. I received my B.S. in Biology and B.A. in keyboard composition in 2025 from Messiah University, and I am a current MD student at the University of Virginia.
