Guest guest Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Dear Xavier, I do NOT play an instument very well! I pick or strum on the guitar a little to keep my voice on pitch when I create or compose vocal music. Sometimes piano too. But, I have not had lessons on these instruments. As a child I took a lot of dance (not singing) I performed a lot on stage but, from age 7 or so--I became more 'worried". People don't think of me as shy. They think I am outgoing and very lively and entertaining. But, you are correct---inside--I feel very shy. I have a good sense of song writing. People like my ideas---but they know I cannot 'write' the tunes down in notation.
