“I have been studying and chanting both Torah and Haftorah for about a year now using Muller's Trope-Colors. I am 60 and had never read nor chanted Torah or Haftorah prior to last year. In 2009, I chanted before my congregation three times, and, on July 4, 2009, I chanted Haftorah for the first time in front of my congregation. I don’t think I would be able to do any of this without the color clues that are so clear and easy to follow with the Muller's Trope-Colors system”

“It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”

“Rick’s color coding for Torah/Haftorah reading is truly an incredible tool for learning the trope. I, along with three of my children, have used this method. We not only learned our portions, but learned to apply the trope signs to any portion from the Torah. The color system makes total sense and helps visualize the changes in the patterns. Rick’s system has given me the confidence and ability to now read from the Chumash. I would recommend this system to any adult wanting to learn to read Torah and/or Haftorah and would certainly recommend using this method to Hebrew Schools as well.”
Miriam Nash, Teacher/Mom
“I really enjoyed working with Rick and his trope color system. It really helped visually with learning my Haftarah and Maftir for my Bar Mitzvah. This system and Rick's approach and guidance really gave me confidence with reading and the melodies. I highly recommend working with Rick Muller!”

“The color coded sheets broke down the tropes in a way that I (and many other kids) could understand in a much simpler way. I would highly recommend Muller’s Trope Colors for anyone who is studying for their b'nai mitzvah. It's easy to learn and makes the process easier to do”

“This website is very cool. With the cost of color printing so prohibitive for publishers, it may be that the internet is the way to do this”
Ron Wolfson, Dean, School of Education, University of Judaism
"Richard Muller's Trope Color system helped me break down the trope and made learning for my Bar Mitzvah so much easier. Once I learned the trope associated with each color, I was able to focus more on the text I was reading and learning because the tune I was singing became second nature. Two years after my Bar Mitzvah, I still feel confident in my Torah reading skills."

"Muller's Trope Colors helped me retain the melodies of the trope, making the learning easier for me."

"I used the color coding system for my bat mitzvah and continue to use it whenever I read Torah. I think the color coding system is very helpful for beginners and it helped me because I found it easier to identify trope. It also made Torah reading much less stressful for me. I now read Torah whenever I get the chance because the color code system makes it much more fun and engaging."

“The trope colors added a new element to Torah and Haftarah reading that made the trope symbols click in my head. The trope colors provide an easy to understand guideline of how to successfully read the script. They gave me the ability to read Torah at my Bar Mitzvah like I never would have imagined.”

Richard came highly recommended by my friend in regard to helping my son prepare for his bar mitzvah. He is incredible at what he does in helping students prepare for their bar/bat mitzvah. Richard’s usage of trope colors was so engaging for my son, helping him learn, retain and beautifully deliver his haftorah, aliyas and prayers with such ease. He was so encouraging of my son throughout the whole process and having him for support at the bar mitzvah was so appreciated. Highly recommend!"

Highlighting the tropes with different colors has allowed me to more easily recognize, remember, and chant the different notes, and was the most helpful tool for me as I learned my Torah portion for my Bar Mitzvah. I can now confidently read the different tropes both with and without the trope colors quickly and efficiently."
