My greatest musical accomplishment was winning the CathInfo Crooner Award, issued by Raoul.

I don't sing well at all, but it really is fun learning how to sing!

Well college choir directors usually don't let just anyone in, so if I were to guess, you're probably better than just the average joe. :)

Well, this one did! Seriously, I never sang anything seriously before this semester. I still barely know solfege. I even had/have an intonation problem with singing an octave lower than written (but it's gotten better, after it was pointed out to me).

I felt that I wasn't nearly as polished as many of my peers so I took private voice lessons, and it helped me leaps and bounds. My teacher taught me the fine points that make all the difference like breath control, proper annunciations, singing from the diaphragm, etc. Have you ever considered that? You're a music major, right? Surely you could fit it in as an elective or something. Just an idea.

I was planning on doing that!

It seems very good for refreshing the body and the soul.

:guitar: (if i put the time into it.... :scratchchin: )

they say it takes a weekly 1/2 hour lesson and an hour of practice daily. Although, I bet you could skate by on 30 minutes a day!

Well, if you haven't found your wife yet, this might be one way to help win her; it seemed to work pretty well for Gene! Of course, he didn't look like ole Smiley Burnette either!

I've been an occasional half-a-choir. I've not had any complaints, but people might just be being polite!

That is still better than most! I admire honesty but I am sure you could hold a tune just fine.

Now proficiency at Gregorian Chant...whew that is tough and difficult for this bass. Our schola sings a little too high even for men. I find even the average bass line a little high for most polyphonic works.

I love singing Ode to Joy in German, with the musical phrasing as per the chorale from LVB's 9th, and not the transcription used in hymn books.

A good cigar or pipe I find really mellows and deepens my voice. I dont recommend though taking up smoking!!!!
