The School of Ecclesiastic Music (SEM) is a school of Byzantine music in Matn, Lebanon.

The school opened in 1997, as a project of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Mount Lebanon.[1] There are two campuses at Mkalles and Jal el Dib, which presently have more than 200 students.[2]

The school introduced several new revisions of academic Byzantine music books and reference methodologies, replacing an archaic curriculum dating back to 1814.[2]

The school also hosts an Orthodox liturgical choir with more than 100 professional chanters, and publishes recordings of liturgical music on CDs and cassettes.[2]
