Hmm. I have a very loud singing voice & don't really feel comfortable singing at my best in our terraced house, - since my neighbour said she could hear me & it made her laugh. She didn't mean it unkindly, and was in fact telling me that it didn't bother her - but ever since I feel a bit inhibited. For some reason, also, I find it hard to practice at full volume when my husband is around (I go all shy!!). Solution - I go round a friend's house & sing my heart out there! He is learning the Djembe, so I suppose I ought to invite him round to practice at our house. Perhaps we could do a house-swap for practicing purposes. That strikes me as a well cunning idea!Kristin
