[QUOTE="Star*, post: 192100, member: 4964"] Okay - I'm sorry but as an artist - I have to side with her on this one. True story - Second grade: WE could either pick ART class or Choir. I asked "What do you get if you join choir for years & years?" the teacher said "In high school you get to go to Disney world in FL and sing." THen I said "What do you get if you join ART class?" and the teacher said 'Art lessons'. So I did what any other Mickey Mouse loving 2nd grader did - and signed up for choir. In the music room the teacher (an older heavier version of AUnt Bea) tapping that long stick thingy everywhere - and wearing white gloves (ugh) had us sing "This Land is Your Land" and we started singing...... TAP TAP TAP - NO NO NO - separated the group into 2 - left side sing - MMMm okay - Right side that I was in - OH MY WORD that......sound. And again Separated the 1/2 I was in. Of course I'm looking around for the kid that sounds SO awful - because I'm Marie Osmond - I sing along at church and I listen to Diana Ross.....and we start again. This process goes on until she gets down to ME and another girl - and then says "SING" and we do.....she taps that dang baton and yells SILENCE.STOP......OH DEAR and pointed at me with the baton and said in front of the ENTIRE choir YOU - (makes face and hands over ears) GO TO ART CLASS........ Well - I can tell you that NONE of the kids in my class EVER did anything with their music......none are professional singers, NONE still play an instrument for money - But I've drawn some stuff and gotten paid - So in the end? I'm an artist - just like your little girl........ :angel3:don't be mad. I'm really rather good. [/QUOTE]
