The Madonna In The Making..

Last Sunday was that fateful day when I gathered all ma courage and asked Amutha, "Hi Amutha..This is Neha..I was...ahem..wondering..ahem..whether the choir practise is going on?"And..can i too join the Christmas Choir????"

I was fully prepared to hear,"Can we have a little audition here Neha?"

And for this was torturing Achint and Vincent by making them listen to ma singing for one whole week, not that they otherwise are deprived of ma melodious voice ;)

OK, so thats done. Instead of a request for an audition she asked me :

Amutha : Have u ever sung in the Choir?

Neha : O yes!

Amutha : Good! When and where?

Now here I felt most silly to answer..

Neha : In ma school choir..

And since it seemed to kiddish, I added, which was a lie..

Neha : Church too!

Amutha : So u sing the higher notes or the lower?

Neha : A little higher..

Which was a total lie...coz I just dint know what note I sing!!!

Amutha : Cool! So u sing with the Sopranos!

And it was that day that i learnt that there r 4 notes of music: Altos, Sopranos, Tenors and Bass..

Thats it..have been practising since then, and I will be singing with the Choir for the thansgiving Sunday, which is tomorrow, and I am standing right in the middle!!

Lets c what will be the reaction of ma friends when they come to Church tomo and see me standing right in the middle and attempting to utter some melodious notes out of ma mouth..

The worst part was...We all were given sheets with music written on it and I just cant read music!!Fuck!!!!!!!!!But I am picking up :D

Wish me all the best!

Going to a Wedding Reception tonight, then Church tomorrow, followed by a Thanks Giving Sunday lunch at ma Uncles home. And he is very excited about he whole thing and will be preparing a Turkey!I dont like Turkey..Have never tasted it but the look of a Turkey is horrible...specially the flesh hanging from the lower part of its neck....yuck!!!!!!!!!Gobble Gobble :(

Did you find it hard to sing the exact note that you were reading of the sheet music?

I find sheet music fairly easy to read while playing the Piano, not so easy for guitar (simply because of multiple options for every note) and impossible for singing :|

Wondering what I could be doing wrong.

"Rahul : Aha!!!Some1 trying hard to tell the world that he is into music :D
Nice to know that!!!
Piano is nice...I have a big piano in ma home..but..I never bothered to learn it :D But me wanna learn guitr...but I think I am too old to start learning music..Am I?"

First, I don't try to tell the world that I am into music, the world doesn't need to know :P

Second, I learnt Piano when I was 11, I learnt guitar when I was 25. I can play guitar fairly prolifically and on the Piano, I make mistakes even on "Twinkle, Twinkle, little star".

So I don't know, if you are too old to learn to learn Guitar, I guess I never did ;)

Turkey is pretty interesting. It is leaner than the meat that we normally eat, and is supposed to be much healthier. So can eat more without feeling guilty about hogging.

Vaibhav : Havent seen Borat till now..so no comments....nad I dint really like the song...I cant pick out the notes from it :( I normally like the songs u recommend me....maybe it will grow on me...after listening to it 3 4 times..i just listened to it once yest when I was returning home from office..

Rahul : Why do u get to defensive all the time!Relax...I know I might, mind u might, be a lil too old to learn music, but at least I will attempt to learn...

Ashish : But still...ok..i am more of a veggie...so i think twice about having non veg...give me some veg stuff anytime and i will be happy :D
THanks for stopping by...
C ya around :)

@neha: I never get defensive!!! Oh wait..

Anyway, you can find people who started playing in their thirties and are actually known on the world scene. Age is never really 'that' much of an issue, dedication is.
