Practice Challenge week 5

This week, I'm on my own.  No one turned in a practice journal for this week.

Session #1

I have laryngitis today due to possible reflux and an a massive asthma related coughing fit last night.  I did enough warming up to know that silence is a better option for today.  Luckily, I'm not teaching much today so I can get some vocal rest.  

Today's practice is mostly listening as I do other work.  
I listened again twice to Milada Subrtova (5:40), and then listed to this recording by Kate Royal (6:25). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUxnffqM4b0

I also listened to the recitation and diction lesson on my CD twice each for about 20 minutes.  

Total time on this song today:  38 minutes

I also said I'd record O Holy Night in French to help the student of another teacher.  Unfortunately I can't sing, but I did download the IPA and review.
