Alto tutorial for Husičky by Eugen Suchoň

The Husičky song learning material for the alto vocal group is a part of the freely available online choral library with music from Slovak composers. It was created with the support of Slovak Arts Council (Fond na podporu umenia).

In addition to the tutorial recordings for altos (found below), we include the lyrics of the alto group with their pronunciation. These can be found in the bottom part of the page.
