Shlama,
i'm nowhere near Chicago so i wouldn't be of much help, but if you're seeking to learn it by heart, i would suggest looking into the cantillation marks and start chanting the Torah that way. song-form has long been a great method to memorize any text, and i am sure it has contributed to many memorizations of the Word over the years in the Hebrew tongue. just a suggestion. there are lots of helps online to begin learning.
a dear brother has recently begun his foray into the world of the chazzan, and here's him doing the first chapter of Shir HaShirim (the Song of Songs): <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/neuralangel">www.youtube.com/neuralangel</a><!-- w --> he's of Ashkenazi descent, but this is more Sephardic in execution.
Chayim b'Moshiach,
Jeremy
