Learning to chant Torah and Haftarah is a lot like learning to read music.
Trope is the term for the notation system for chanting Torah. Trope are symbols for when to pause and where to stop in the Torah reading. They each have a different set of associated notes and when strung together become the chant for a given portion.arious markings above and beneath the words of our texts indicate which melody we should sing while reading. These markings are called trope.
