About Sephardic Hazzanut Website
For years now I have been thinking about how I could pass on what I have learned to anyone who wants to learn about hazzanut.
Additionally, as a baal Koreh, I noticed that many people have trouble singing the taamim properly and reading the Torah correctly.
On Succot 2009, I had the opportunity to talk about the Sephardic Pizmonim Project with David Betesh. Also, I am thankful to Harry
Catton who encouraged me to record my Hazzanut. The rest is history...
