Serious To Sing or Not to Sing

Yo. I'm currently in the midst of picking my classes for my junior year of high school and I wanted to get some advice on a class I'm thinking of joining: choir.

I don't know how to sing. All I do is sing along with my favorite songs and I've been told that my country singing voice is pretty decent. I asked some of my friends in choir about joining and they didn't have any solid advice since they had been singing in church and stuff since an early age so I decided that I would ask you guys.

Do any of you have experience joining a choir without knowing anything about singing? How did it work out and is it something that you would recommend?

I say do it. The purpose is to teach, here, so at least you'll learn about breathing, posture and diapraghm control. (Which is more interesting than it sounds.) That being said, it's an easy class with lots of girls, in my experience.

choir is seriously fantastic, but you have to be committed, or you shouldn't take it. it was without a doubt some of the best experiences of my life, when everyone put in the necessarry effrort.

As a musician myself, I think what Seil meant was that if you're doing it right, it's a difficult, extremely rewarding class with lots of girls.

(I'm offering incentive here.) And it's true, for the most part. Then again, me mum is a vocal prof, so I was "volunteering" to arts classes and stage shows when I was young and got into it quick.

If you do decide to do it, the best advice I can offer is this : don't be nervous. You're gonna be anyway, but try not to be nervous. Chances are, there's gonna be some people like you, who are unsure of what's going on, and experienced people who two or three years ago felt just as dumb.

EDIT Mr. Greg got it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm definitely gonna be putting it down on my schedule. And I'd be lying if I said that this wasn't at least partially motivated by a girl (not unlike my decision to join track.)

My only real question now is if they can seriously teach anyone to sing. I have some serious doubts about my singing ability and it would be embarrassing to be declared beyond help.

Go for it. I was in choir for quite awhile in school, and it's quite fun.

I took choir lessons, both classical and jazz, for about 7 years, and I must say it is a worthwhile experience. It especially helped that my teacher loved what he was doing and had a very optimistic view on music and life in general. Hopefully your teacher is the same. I've had terrible choir teachers in the past as well (one who was more of an acting teacher who couldn't really sing well and the other was a lesbian/sexist who purposely gave us women's rights songs to sing with modified lyrics as to make women look like the better sex and gave terrible songs to sing for the guys. She also would punish any guy in the tenor or bass section for something as small as a whisper while girls would be yapping around without any consequence at all). You also get to be more in focus with yourself, and naturally, the whole breathing thing like Seil said, very important as well.
