Has a past negative experience put you off singing?

Sarah Frayne from Waitakere Voices Choir

There are so many people who have shared stories with me about being put off singing when they were young - even though they secretly love to sing!

It could have been a careless word from a well meaning family member, a grouchy singing teacher who told you to mime during the school song or just the fact that your voice changed and you weren't quite sure what would come out of your mouth when you tried to sing.

Whatever the reason don't let past experiences put you off doing something that you love or that you have always wanted to try!

At Waitakere Voices choir we welcome people from all backgrounds and all musical abilities. There is no judging or shaming here!

So come along on Tuesday 5th Feb to our free "give-it-a-try" evening - 7.15pm at ACG Sunderland School in Henderson.

For more info email wvoiceschoir@gmail.com or just come along!

New Zealand's newest comedy musical Karaoke Boiz is on during Auckland Pride 2019 (7 - 16 Feb)!

This hilarious 1-hour show follows Wayne “King of Karaoke” in his search for the perfect band. Join him on his journey down the Waikato to discover new friends, foes and the biggest pop band to ever grace the planet.

Director Tom Sainsbury says 'This play is just so much fun! It's all the great karaoke numbers - ‘Proud Mary’, ‘Don't Stop Me Now’ and ‘Call Me’, as well as toe-tapping dance numbers and kiwi humour!”

This stellar stand-out cast of 10 musical performers is pure perfection... This should really be on at The Civic!

I wanted to make a reply to this post that was taken down. Well here is the title that is in the subject line anyways.

I want to say if that was me in a hospital while I was being operated on while being awake, I would find myself very shocked and disgusted. Who is the more important person that needs dealing with? The patient or the smart phone? I don't know what the exact post was on that got taken off just recently about this topic but it is good for everyone to be aware in case any of us face the same thing or to any other family.

If anyone did find that the other post got taken off, you can feel free to post the same comments on this post if you want to.

Matt
