For those who've had their bat mitzvahs and/or are active participants in their shuls, do you ever chant Torah or Haftorah? I just read today, and I'm curious as to how many others still know (or can fake) trop well enough to occasionally chant on any random day.

Yes, Kiashana, I know you do. xp

Well apparently I'm the only one who cares to reply, so there!
For those not in 'the know', I gave Jyu help with a reading a while back. Except we spent like five minutes talking about the torah reading, and forty about whatever else we wanted to talk about. Fun times...

I can.

I usually do both, along with an echa reading, and shir ha'shirim over the summer, at Ramah Wisconsin (yes, that's where "NIVO" comes from. We read shir ha'shirim every friday before kabbalat)

Did you read from the Song of Songs at your bat mitzvah? Er, or whatever Orthodox Jews call it, I don't know if it's an official bat mitzvah... ><;

I do occasionally, but mostly not- I'm far from some expert on it.

Shir ha'Shirim at a bat mitzvah? Is that a tradition with some Orthodox bat mitzvot? I have never heard of that...

They've always done that at our Chabad. @.@; Do they not do that elsewhere?

I've learned the basics of trop, but not in-depth, and only the Torah trop -- not the Haftarah trop, or any of the different trops for the megillot (the scrolls, which get a different trop yet), or the High Holy Days trop. I enjoy chanting what I'm reading when I read at home, but of course not in public. Just for my own enjoyment, because I'm a singer by nature and trade. That is, I majored in vocal music performance in college, before deciding to be an observant Jew. I still love to sing; I just do it at home or for women-only groups instead of out in public. To this day, I can't feel that I'm really, really praying unless I do it through music. Music is the way I connect best with Hashem. That's one of the reasons I almost always daven at home instead of going to synagogue.
