Yes, I would be interested in sharing what I know about cantillation. I
teach Torah and Haftarah cantillation at Congregation Beth El in Sudbury,
MA. I am familiar with A.W. Binder and one other Ashkenazic system which
is very similar to Binder. I have also chanted Eicha, Megillat Esther,
and High Holiday Torah portions. There's obviously more to chanting than
just knowing the notes (syntax, accent, etc.) and I enjoy
this part too! I would also be interested in learning other systems, so I
look forward to hearing from others about sources or tape sharing. I do
have home-made tapes of the systems I know, as well as some written-out
music.
