Cat, you should speak to my mate Karen..she had to give up her studies years ago..tendonitis. She is a superb pianist and flautist and can sight read better than our MD..the MD's own admission!!!!! Its her fault I joined the choir. As for nervousness...a very dear friend and mentor told me the very same...if you don't get nervous..you shouldn't be singing and he should know. My musical regret, at the moment I am unable to sing.
