How should you pronounce the word music while singing?

[Bob]

Is there a correct or a typically incorrect way of pronouncing it?

[senanserat]

While in doubt say Musica.

[Bob]

Is it moosic?  Mewsic?  Like a cat meow? Or is that wrong? I thought pure vowels were the goal.

[senanserat]

Oh, well for what I have heard back in school it is Mew-zic. Like a cat indeed.

[Bob]

Hm.  Is there a standard way for handling dipthongs?  Fast Me- so you get to the too faster and hold that sound out?   It can't be meeeee-oooo-sic, right?  The mew part should be kind of like a grace note, crushed on the beat, right?

Get the book, "a singers manual of English diction" and stop guessing one letter at a time...
