Not trained at all - that's why I'm taking the course - it's called "Singing from scratch" and it's aimed at adults who want to get some voice training, most of whom have never taken any. There's about 8 people in the class and we sing mostly as a group. We start with warmup exercises and then move into the singing. By about the third class, we're supposed to be ready to start practicing our solos in front of the class. This is my third class of it and I'm enjoying it a lot. The group, whichever group I've been in, is very supportive and my teacher is excellent - not only does she know her stuff, but she has a wicked sense of humour, and the accompanist is so sweet. what Kate > suggests is true, any song really is yours to sing. > If you ow your key, which I don't, you can > sing any song girl!

My problem is trying to get the music for it - that is, music that's already in print and readily available. If I could accompany myself on guitar, I could just change the key by transposing the chords or using a capo, but this is a bit different. (I figure, I'll obey the rules for now but later - anarchy rules!) I LOVE Nina Simone. And Ella Fitzgerald. And so many more. And I'd love to do a duet with you - or anyone, for that matter! ===== Catherine Toronto ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
