Blue Bird,
There is a softcover book I had purchased years ago with a CD in the cover called The Art of Torah Cantillation that I found just right for the novice. It has large letters and easy to understand explanations for all the curves, little lines and dots which are trope marks.
https://www.amazon.com/Art-Torah-Cantill...0807407348
I don't know if they still carry the CD any more so you may want to check.
As far as detailed explanations concerning grammar there is also A Practical Grammar For Classical Hebrew by J. Weingreen.
I preferred the easier to learn book prior to purchasing Weingreen such as The First Hebrew Primer - The Adult Beginner's Path To Biblical Hebrew
It all depends on what you are looking for. Growing in the language without becoming exasperated from too much information was my approach.
All the best!
