My first singing lesson~
My colleague helped us to buy groupons for a 4 hours singing lesson at Ark Music. It's split into two lesson and we have just attended our first lesson on Mon. We were quite shocked actually because we thought we are the only students in that lesson until we realized that it's a total of 12 people for that day. Consider it as a warm up or a "scary" exercise, the very first thing that we were told to do is a self-introduction. Sounds easy right? No~~~ The self introduction includes introducing your name, why are you here for this session and sing a few lines of your favorite song in front of the whole class!! We were like "OMG" and one of my colleagues thought of running off. Lol... Everyone of us started to panick and to search for the lyrics using our phones. I have a deeper impression of the first two ladies who sang as they sang beautifully! They make me wonder why are they here for the lesson. Then there were a few who had stage frights and were unable to sing at their usual standards I think. The instructor will give some comments after each of us sing. I was terribly nervous as my hands went cold and I was still hesistating on which song to choose and which part of it to sing. After much consideration, I chose 倒带 by Jolin Tsai. It's a song that I will definitely sing on every karaoke sessions. To prevent from creating a scene of myself, I chose to sing the first verse (which I think is safer). I was amazed by one of my colleagues who actually chose to sing a Japanese song from Ayumi Hamasaki... Finally it's my turn, I was trying my best to remain composed. This is the only time which I feel that short sightedness is a quality actually (as I am unable to see the faces of the "audiences" clearly). I was so happy that the instructor didn't give any negative feedback and she said that it's quite nice. Maybe that's because I chose the safest part to sing. :) After the self-introduction session, the instructor went on to elaborate on some of the basic things to know in order to sing. My colleagues and I were quite familiar with most of the pointers as we had some musical background (e.g. Concert band, Chinese orchestra and Choir). It's was a new experience after all. For the next session, we are supposed to choose one of the songs to sing in front of the class. The options given include: 1) 分手快乐,2) 十年, 3) Love me and one more song which I had forgotten the name of jy. I'm definitely gonna choose the first one. Hopefully my voice won't crack ><
I have the strong urge to shout out to you... I really miss you.
