STUDY METHOD (always have your printouts/pages in front of you)
1. In your first homework session, Listen to the assigned audio files (or assigned part thereof) at least 15 times in a row. Let it sink in! Best practice is to listen a couple more times in a second sitting before trying to sing along. 2. Sing along with the audio files many times until it is identical, smooth and confident. If there are glitches, use the slider to “rewind” and review a word or two at a time until identical. You’ll know you’re ready for step 3 when the audio recording feels too slow or is ‘holding you back’. 3. Sing the whole assignment without the audio file (as you will in your next lesson). Use this approach every week, and knock my socks off with how well you know it! AND, 4. every week, you MUST review at least once, everything learned to date, and FIX any glitches. |

Review Torah blessings
Prepare Torah Trope Sheet |
I know you were away for a few days, and that your links weren’t working properly. This week, finish learning blessings before and after Torah reading.
I’ve updated your links, but you may still see unexpected error messages. You should still see a “Download” button or link in the top left of the pages with the error. Save those to a well-known place on your computer (like a folder on your desktop) and you should be able to open that. |
