I am sitting in a room where the chairs are encircling a
piano. I feel a soren

re coming in the room and I feel my palms start to sweat and I start to get a little
nervous. Today I will be singing a
solo at the beginning of class. As I begin singing, there are no problems but then half way through the song I think of all the
influences around me and I sing a
bad
note and not just one, but two or three. The sore throat, the approaching storm, the cold room, and the nerves are all influences on the bad
note I sang during my solo. After hitting the wrong note, I did not want to finish the song but I kept going. When I was done singing I left the room and the
outcome of the bad note showed
anger at myself and the music, but on top of the anger I was really
embarrassed. I had worked on this solo for a very long time and knew the notes but for some reason they notes came out bad. I had just decided the bad note also gave me the outcome of
retiring from my solo career and to just stick with
choral singing.
