Summary/Abstract: The liturgical chant is the one that completes the prayer in the Orthodox Church, it being inherited from Byzantium, and in the territory of the Romanian countries it has known both periods of stagnation and evolution. The church singer or the teacher takes over not only the duties of a liturgical cantor, but he becomes in Moldova a scholar of the community and a landmark in the formation of new generations. Thus, observing this increase in the influence of the church singer, the Metropolitanate of Moldova decides that his activity should be carried out in an organized manner within the administrative-canonical limits. For this reason, two directions of research appear that deserve the reader's attention: the problem of schooling and the problem of teachers' salaries.
