The Best Way to Learn Chanting just got better.

TropeTrainer™ Software Version 5 for Mac and PC
is available now!

NEW TROPETRAINER™ Version 5 from Kinnor Software is now an even better way to get the lessons and exercises, readings and blessings that enhance and accelerate the learning process of chanting Torah, Haftarah and Megillot.

New features include a major new screen design, side-by-side English/Hebrew text and display of the full musical score for each reading. The software's auto-update feature regularly checks with Kinnor Software to see if updates are available, and lets you choose to automatically download them. With auto-update, you are always running the latest Version 5 release!

As in previous versions, you can follow along word by word on the screen while the software chants the selected portion. Double-click on a word to hear it chanted or spoken. Select regions of text to automatically repeat-play.

TropeTrainer software includes a complete set of tutorials and exercises for learning the basics of chanting and the melodies associated with each trope symbol.

Students and teachers are raving about TropeTrainer software. Offering unparalleled flexibility, TropeTrainer provides over two dozen melodies for Torah and Haftarah from Ashkenazi and Sephardi traditions plus choice of voice, accent, pitch and speed of chanting, with annual and triennial readings to meet your needs and the customs of your congregation.

For the student:

• More fun and much easier to use than internet downloads, CDs or cassette tapes. People (especially kids) love to learn with a computer.

• TropeTrainer software can match student's ability as the student learns and grows more practiced: Adjustable playback speed can be set from unbearably slow to comfortably fast.

• Adjustable pitch and voice can be set to match student's voice.

• Widest choice of melodies of any comparable product let student choose the melody most similar to the one used in their congregation.

• Saves student's time — focused lessons and exercises let students practice exactly what they need most.

• Most students can learn to do any reading in the same time they would take to memorize their reading by rote. TropeTrainer™ software's exercises focus on learning tropes by name and melody. However, the student can simply learn their reading by rote if that is how they wish to proceed.

For the teacher:

• Saves teacher's time — no need to make a CD or cassette. Readings can be printed directly from the computer. Teacher can select lessons and exercises for student's learning, and reviews where additional work is needed.

• Texts can optionally be color-highlighted and printed in trope groups (e.g. etnachta, zakef-katon and sof-pasuk) for ease of learning.

• Lessons are based on the general principles as taught by Rosowsky, Spiro and Binder.

• Thousands of exercise examples are drawn from biblical texts. The exercises for each trope group are presented to the student in a flashcard format. The student learns and practices to identify tropes in their common groupings.

• Tropes can optionally be colored to show their pausal power, e.g. Lords and Servants.

• Enlarged Sh’va-nach and Qamatz-katon help students' pronunciation.

• Contact support@kinnor.com for information regarding adding your customized trope melodies to TropeTrainer software.
