[HANASHIR:7633] Re: Torah Study Aid f

[Rachelle and Howard Shubert <notfranz...>]

Thanks for all these great tips about studying trope.  I am applying all of
them to my study regime.  One thing I am also doing, which seems to be
effective, is to photocopy the Torah trope reference pages at the back of
THE ART OF TORAH CANTILLATION, folded over so the right side of the page
with the names of the tropes written in Hebrew is actually blank.  Then I am
writing in the trope symbols under using boxes instead of words.  I fold the
paper over and chant the sequences from the boxes.  I flip the page whenever
I am stuck.

I am curious as to how many Reform religious schools actually teach
trope-reading?  I find our kids don't learn to recognize the tropes but are
given tapes to memorize.
