GOAT... He does not just explained how to chant the taamim (tropes) but TEACHES how to actually do this....! Great resource!

[@dominiquemichaud1858]

You are a wonderful teacher. Love your videos. Thank you

[@djbuddylee]

You are the best teacher! Thank you! =)

[@dwdeclare1965]

does anyone else think it's kinda funny that a tipcha and etnachta together sound like the close encounters alien communication melody? i think spielberg knew what he was doing there!

Great rendition of "Bingo"! I wish you or someone could explain the logic behind the ta'amim. When I read from the scroll, I have to remember the chant from memory. I wish I understood the logic so I wouldn't have to remember so much.

Lawrence, the only such reference that I know of, which contains an extremely detailed account of how the ta'amim function and fit together can be found in Joshua Jacobson's excellent book, Chanting the Hebrew Bible. It is must reading for anyone who seeks the kind of information you are asking about. Highly recommend!

[@LarrySiden]

@@mikeweis64 That looks like a promising book. Thank you!

[@rossharmonics]

I hope you have other videos on the Hebrew language itself.

Thank You so much!!

Your teaching is excellent! Thank you very much! One question, we the major break of a verse is usually called "atnach" or "etnach" as I learned from Basic Hebrew Grammar books or the book A Simplified Guide to BHS. Why do you call it "etnachta"?

[@mikeweis64]

Very good question. I don't have my grammar books handy, but I learned how to chant from books are specific to teaching Ashkenazi cantillation. The names of the tropes differ in the Sephardic trope system. That probably accounts for the differences you might have noticed. It's important not to be confused by the difference between Sephardi and Ashkenazi pronounciation vs Sephardic and Ashkenazi TROPE systems. I'm not aware of differences in Hebrew grammar between the Sephardi and Ashkenazi traditions. However, there are differences in pronounciation as well as a fairly dramatic difference in the way the tropes sound, as well as how some of them are named.
