An interesting adult ed class

So I took my first SBCC continuing education class yesterday. It's a class called beginning singing. It was an interesting experience, considering I've never sung with a group before, and I've never had any kind of training.

So, its basically an older hispanic crowd. There are 3 of us that are young. 1 is this girl Tasha, who I think is a few years younger than me, and it was her first class, just like me. Then there is this guy Manuel I think, and he is either my age or a little older. Other than that, we have 2 or 3 people in their 30s, and the rest of the 17 are 40+. And, because its a hispanic crowd, we're going to sing mostly hispanic music. We started off with a song called "Spanish eyes", then moved on to "Guantanamera" which is pretty fun, and finished with a strange song called Heart of my heart. However, we've been asked to perform in 2 venues this summer. This could be interesting. How strange is it to see an Asian guy singing mexican songs! But its ok, I'm there to learn how to make my voice better.

So the class is more like a choir. I was hoping to get instruction on how to sing, but it doesn't seem like the class is heavy in that. I talked to the teacher, and she said that she would be willing to do that if I was willing to get up in front of the class and have a lesson. I'm not sure that I'm ready to sing in front of people. She says that everyone can benefit from it, because everyone will learn by observing. Not what I was expecting, but singing in a group should still be fun!
