My favourite teacher's husband was coaching us. Quite early on in the practice, he singled me out for not being able to hold the tune. I tried my best after that but was quite unable to satisfy him. <BR/><BR/>It was mortifying!<BR/><BR/>I'd love to be able to belt out a song and know that I'd not be upsetting all those around me.Reluctant Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093595869651355616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1144187473692167732006-04-04T22:51:00.000+01:002006-04-04T22:51:00.000+01:00Carla - thanks - I'm hoping it will come true now....Carla - thanks - I'm hoping it will come true now.<BR/><BR/>Hobess - that sounds frightening!

She made me stand with her and "aim" my voice at hers too many times to count. Torture. She would let go of my wrists, usually with a tisk. I would go to my room, turn on the soundtrack from Footloose and sing as loud and as long as I wanted! Just keep singing ... and drawing!

I did try a journey to refind my voice and after it I sang to myself today and it sounded rather good - but it made my foot hurt so badly I couldn't walk... odd I know but its deinitely a different reaction!

I always wanted to be the lead but I usually made the chorus - I had enough personality to be on stage - but not to be heard singing!!
