Rabbi-Cantor Cheri Weiss Combines Love of Judaism and Music

After settling in Los Angeles, she decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in music from Cal State Northridge. “Those years turned me from a singer into a musician,” she recalled. “I took four or five years of music theory including music analysis. You are taking ear training, taking music history. You have to take piano; you have to pass a piano efficiency exam. There were musicology classes. It was a lot. It wasn’t just open my mouth and sing, which of course, was a huge part of it. You were really learning the nuts and bolts of music. I loved it. I loved music theory and analysis.”
