Perhaps you are right, Gabriella, but what she lacked in talent she certainly made up for with enthusiasm.
Throughout my musical life I have met countless people who have been deterred from singing by well-meaning teachers telling them to sing quietly, or mime, because their voice wasn't good enough. It makes me so sad that they have missed out on one of the pleasures in life, making music, because of this attitude. Quite often. when they have been persuaded to give it a try, they turn out to have a perfectly acceptable voice.
Community choirs are designed to accept anyone who wants to sing, regardless of talent. It is so wonderful to see people start to blossom when they begin to sing out with everyone else.
