Sadie joined her school choir this year.
Can I be honest?
I didn't think it was the best idea.
After all she plays piano and viola. Isn't that enough musical stuff? Need I mention that when either of her parents sing nothing close to lovely is emitted out of their mouths, you get where I'm taking this right?
I mean how can you tell your daughter, "Honey, singing just isn't in the cards for this family."
Instead, I wrote the check and drove her happy little singing voice to school an hour early twice a week for the past 4 months.
Then came last night.
All I can say is . . . she didn't get it from me.

Do I see voice lessons on your things to do list for 2008? Sounds so unlike any Fortner I know!
She sounds good. I know you always say our family can't sing, but I was in choir and New Gen(which I had to try out for)
Way to go Sadie!
It's in the genes somewhere, Farah takes lessons also. I think it must just be the musical person in them.
It just doesn't come from us.
There is quite a bit of musical ability in the Terrill genes - my husband for one has a beautiful voice.
Some things skip generations you know!!
I love Middle School Choirs!
