Thanks for your reply everyone, I am working with
couple of systems at the moment and I'll let you all
know what I come up with.

To answer you question,
  The torah trope is a system of symbols placed above
or below the hebrew letters to guide in the
cantilation of the torah.  Each symbol represents a
musical pattern. It is quite useful and fairly user
friendly in general as well as begin fairly easy to
learn.  It is what gave me the inspiration for
tackling this conlang.

This is a great site for learning about it, if you
want to check it out:

Same site but a link to the singing of Genesis 1:
