בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים
Learn to chant Torah, one sign at a time.
Every little mark above and below the words is a melody. We teach you each one — hear it, sing it, get instant feedback — until you can read from the Torah with confidence.

How it works
Five steps from first sign to full verse
- 1
See the sign
Each lesson teaches one trop mark. The sign is shown in color, apart from the vowels, so you know exactly what to look for.
- 2
Hear it chanted
Listen to a real reader chant ten words with that sign — slowly, one word at a time.
- 3
Chant it yourself
Record yourself. We compare your melody to the recording and tell you where to go up, down, or hold steady.
- 4
Put signs together
Practices combine the signs you’ve learned in the order they appear in the Torah, like Mercha–Tipcha–Silluq.
- 5
Test and track
Short quizzes check what you know. Your dashboard shows your progress, where to improve, and your study goals.
