[HANASHIR:7590] Torah Study Aid for Rachelle

RE: Trope Study Aid for Rachelle:

Hi Rachelle,

I have learnt trope in an order as you said, kind of forming a song. 
However, I learnt it using 'English Reform' trope, which is a different 
trope than most American Reform congregations use. It sounds more like your 
Haftarah trope and vice versa. However, to give you a vague ida, this is the 
start of how it goes (To all Hebrew scholars: please excuse the poor 
transliteration attempt!)

If it is singable in the American trope, then I'll finish it for you.

Ma'pach Pashta Munach Katon, Merchah Tipchah Munach Etnachtah. Mercha 
Tipchah Merchah Sof Pasok. Darga Tevir... and it continues.

Does anyone on this list have any idea of how many Torah tropes there really 
are that are still used today?

Hope this helps, Rachelle!

Best wishes,
Zoe :)
