German Pronunciation Guides

Pronunciation mp3s are up on the website.

Click above (or go to www.symphonychorus.org: click on Singers, then on Practice Files) The pronunciation guides are NOT listed in the navigation frame on the left - you need to click on Practice Files to get to them.

As I said in rehearsal, I think my trilled "RRRs" are a bit overdone. Just avoid the American "R" (sometimes in sung German we can substitute "uh" for "R" - just like in elegantly sung English)

The "RRRRRRR's" might have been overdone, but they were enjoyable listening . . . and much preferable to a big fat American AAAAAARRRRRRR.
