Cuicas - Line 1-2

For this unit, we will skip the rhythm section, since you will be covering it in the construction.

Syllables

To make the line more manageable, I have broken it down into two sections: A and B.  In the tracks below, I articulate each syllable of each section.
  • Listen closely and mimic my pronunciation exactly.
  • If you are unsure about a symbol, review it in the Phonetic Notation Key.
  • Do not move on until you are comfortable articulating each sound.  

1A) mi...stu...&ɐ̃...dwa

Construction

In the tracks below, I combine the rhythm and syllables to construct the full lyric.  
  • Listen closely and repeat after me in the time allotted to you.  Sometimes I will cue you in with the word "Go!"
  • Do not worry about saying a syllable wrong, you will have plenty of opportunities.  What's most important is that you stick to the beat.
  • Do not move on until you are comfortable chanting each section from memory.

Memorization

The track below replays a reduced speed version of lines 1-2 on loop several times.  
  • Press play and sing along with the audio repeatedly until the end of the track.
  • Once the track is finished, try to recall the lyrics from memory and sing out loud without the audio aid.
  • Do not move on until you are able to sing the line correctly without the audio aid 5 times in a row.
