cellioI just chanted the torah portion from the sparse text (the way it appears in the torah scroll, without vowels, punctuation, or trope marks) for the first time. Cold. (I last chanted from the full version yesterday.) I think it was about 95% correct. Not at all bad for the first time out.
I am pleased that I learned most of the trope by looking up the musical notation in the book, not by listening to a tape. I've internalized many more of the symbols (and their contexts) than I thought I would by doing it this way. Yay!
