JOINING A CHOIR
I've always loved singing, but singing hasn't always loved me. I would open my mouth with a beautiful song in my head, fully my voice to follow it-only to get an awful tone(音调) in return.
Still, without a second thought, I continued to try to sing possible. On car journeys, when my sons were small, they would make a great play (hands over their ears, shouting No, Mum, stop) of going through the as I sang along to the radio. have had some good friends in my life who could really sing.
I have never thought about joining a choir. And when I did become a member of my first choir 15 years ago, something fantastic to my life. From the first time I experienced my voice as something special but also comfortable, in harmony (和谐) with the other singers, I lost my heart to singing. It was like falling in love. And everyone in the choir had the same shining smiles and bright eyes. Singing made them feel happy, too.
Although it is singing that makes me happy, it is also how a choir works together. There is something magical about breathing together. The voice of everyone singing quietly together is powerful and excitingly almost spiritual.
And there's the unexpected friendship from the activities we do as a choir: raising money for good causes and taking our singing sometimes to places where people and sad.
I am now a member of six choirs and, if I can, sing every day of the week. Now I can stand on a stage in front of several hundred people and know that some songs will sound not bad at all.
