Title: are you a musician?
Post by: icebox13 on April 29, 2003, 09:47:23 am

i was just wondering... i know a lot of you play instruments well... i just want to know how many of you actually play live in front of an audience...
because.. i have this huge stage fright.. and i'm so happy i'm gradually conquering this fear by singing with a piano or a guitar in front of a relatively large crowd... just did yesterday... and as vanessa always says " i froze my ass off..." :D

I play piano. I haven't played infront of a large audience though since the talent show in high school. That wasn't really scary, because the first time I wasn't on stage, I was infront of the stage, and I couldn't see the audience because of all the bright lights on me. Plus, my desire to entertain took over, and everthing was fine. Even the second time, when I was on stage, that went really well too. The more you play, the better you perform, and the less frightened you are of performing infront of a large audience.  :D

In elementary school I was quite good at the triangle. At the time my parents didn't want their son to become a professional, so they didn't allow me to go to this prestigeous music school.

Such a waste of talent...
