I attended my first singing lesson today and I didn't back out of it at the last minute. It took a bit of composure as I ding donged the bell, but it was all okay in the end. Why on earth does human nature worry so much about being judged? It is so debilitating! Anyhoooo, I digress.
I had a good chat with Jonathan, my tutor, and we discussed all sorts of things about music, my history, my feelings about it, what I was interested in and so forth. We did some exercises and I even sang a few songs!
He said I have potential so that's a bit of a relief! I can actually hit the notes fine when I think about it, but it is a different story when singing a song as there are so many other things to think about. My breathing is the first thing to work on.
I've got my first lesson under my belt and I hope to have many more over the next few months. I came away feeling quite pleased with myself and blurted it all out to Matthew when I got home.
I know I am rubbish at the moment, but potential means it can get better, so I am looking forward to that.
So, phew! I did it, sung it and now looking forward to practicing. I'll be working on my task of learning to sing 2 songs really well over the next few months and will keep you apprised of my progress.
Signing off.
