Re: Kol Nidre

[Inna Barmash <ibarmash...>]

Dear Lenka,

Although there are tons of great recordings of Kol Nidre, I would recommend 
finding a cantor and asking them for the sheet music, and if possible, a 
recording of them singing it. Kol Nidre is definitely one of the hardest 
pieces I had to learn for High Holidays, and listening hundreds of times, 
literally, to my mentor cantor's recording while following it note by note 
on the piano, was what finally worked for me.
Best,
Inna
