Cantorial requirementsYou may want to check out the Academy for Jewish Religion

  Hi Folks, 

  I'm just beginning my journey on my quest to become a cantor, and I'm aware 
that I need to have some college level Hebrew before I can begin the program.  
I've already graduated college with a Master's degree in business, and my work 
schedule is very unstable, so I'm looking for maybe an online class or a 
software program that can teach me what I need to know to get into cantorial 
school.  I would appreciate any suggestions y'all might have.  I already know 
how to read and write and I know how to translate many of the prayers in the 
Shabbat services.  So I'm somewhat of a beginner, but not at the very beginning.

  I'm also considering studying under a local cantor in the Northwest suburbs 
of the Chicago area to become a cantor.  If anyone can recommend a cantor to be 
my mentor, it would be much appreciated.

  Thanks so much for your help, 
  Amy Adler
