Agape,
Abram, thanks for your kind words.
We don't use hazzats when we learn in our hymns classes (i.e. the audio ones we upload to this website), since we try to put an emphasis on learning the hymns by heart and knowing them well, so we can stand to pray with them instead of focus on the hazzats. That's why we keep repeating the notes of the hymns over and over again till we get it right.
However, we do put hazzats on the classes for the Aghapy TV, like you said. This is done because the classes are shorter (for TV purposes), and also so that people who don't have the books where we say these hymns can follow along with what we're chanting.
We don't have hymns classes this summer, and that's why we don't have any new uploads, but we're working on other projects this summer, mostly for Aghapy TV. Keep your eyes open for some new programs 
And pray for us!
