Okay, I really didn't need this,more crap to deal with, but the question is should I face my fear of singing in public or not.
I signed up for this creativity class that is required for all degrees at my college, it can be concentrated in either ballet, art, music, etc.. Well I choose music since I have a big past in it and I am a musican.
Well what I didn't know was there will be singing involved. YIKES! I tested out of all my music theroy classes in college so I got away from the singing part in music school. I don't know why I am scared to sign out loud, but I am , only my kids have heard me (when they were very little), not even my DH has heard me sing. I just tense up around inging events. I know the class should be an easy A for me except for this one aspect. Should I just face my fear and grin and bear it, should I inform the instuctor?
We had to fill out this form about our music experience and it did ask us if we sing at all or even to ourselves. Well I said I don't ever sing. I wonder if the instructor would have an idea why. It is really embarrasing to me.
If I had my trumpet, it would be NO problem preforming, but singing ,or giving a speech well singing out loud freaks me out. Remember Alfalfa from the Little Rascles? What is kinda of funny is my pysch teacher from this summer has the same phobia too. LOL What should I do? I have never even told my T about this because I was just willing to live with it for the reast of my life. Any suggestions would be so helpful to me. Thanks! Offkeyhappyflower
