Thank you, Champness, for sharing your story, and thank you to Linor for covering the issue of seniors who want to learn to sing. I've always been a poor singer (as well as a shy introvert), but secretly a passionate singer when alone. I am now one of Linor's Singwell course students. Your success, Champness, gives me hope for improvement. I would love to feel good enough to sing in open mic!

[@linororen]

We will work towards that. If Champness could you can!

Would there be a small chance to watch the film with reactions to Matt Andersen's performance? 😃 I wonder if he has a gift or a voice skill. I have three suggestions and I don't know which one to choose. 😄 thank you kindly.
