All are welcome and in that spirit they will be all levels.What should never happen is overt mocking of pepple who are struggling.
I think I am capable of some sweet singing but I often struggle especially with new material.I willusually spend 4 to 6 weeks listening to a song knockin it out on keyboard or guitar, searching for the, sheet music, listening again to a variety of artists, memorizing , acting out the words of the song and singing it over and over, checking it by recording until I thinkit's ready.Sometimes its fine but sometimes not but I find a couple of disappointing renditions lead to my being able to sing it acceptably well or better.In the wobbly phase I cant cope with accompaniment and can be thrown badly by enthusiastic guitarists even very sophisticated ones.
The things that should be forbidden are
unhelpful comments on my/anybodys rendition whether it be wrong words,factual errors in words or whether I am in tune. I respect constructive criticism but if anyone wants to give I dont want it in public- a little chat at the break would be nice
I an pretty thick skinned in general but being mocked on the qualityof my singinv is not what I go out for.
Afew months xxx ago I saw some pillock of a guitarist waving his tuner behind the head of a singer who was stumbling with his song.This seriously pissed me off!
