Diction Time!!

Alrighty,

Diction practice recordings for the French and Latvian pieces are online:

1. Un Hemisphere (Thanks to Dr. Mosteller)
2. Redz Kur (Thanks to Aaron May)
3. Mate Saule (Thanks to Aaron May)

A couple of notes on this:

1. Please show your appreciation to Dr. Mosteller. He didn't have to help us and I, for one, am extremely grateful.
2. Same goes for Aaron May (appreciation-wise), a current student here at UAB. Why don't you send Aaron a quick email and show your appreciation? goviite@yahoo.com

We are very appreciative to these two people.

The other important note on this: It is up to YOU to get to this diction. We are only as good as the time that you put into this!
