Hello all. As many of you know, my performing art is singing. I actually started singing when I was 5 or 6 years old. Growing up in Chicago, I attended a day Camp on Saturdays for blind children @ River Park on the north side of Chicago. It was run by a blind lady named ruth Coleman who was totally blind & had the philosophy "I can do everything but drive." She was NFB personified. While attending this Saturday day camp, Mrs. Coleman & the other staff started writing original musical plays starting in 1965 & running until 1971. As the years went on, the roles I had got bigger & the songs I sung got somewhat more dificult & challenging. In 1976, we did another play about the founding of our country to honor the Bi-Sentenial. That was our last play. During this time, Mrs. Coleman, who was a psychologist & singer, encouraged me to go into singing as a profession. I went to college @ the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago where I receifed my Batchleor's degree in Music. I then received my Master's in singing @ Northwestern Univewrcity in Evanston, IL, just outside of Chicago. After college, I did private voice teaching & had minor operatic roles & sung in church choirs & did church solos. Up to recently, when I came up to Victorville, where there really aren't many if any musical opportunities, I've kept up my singing in church & community choruses & doing solos. I hope to move down the hill & re-kindle my singing.

Hi   folks,
  We all have  some sort of talent or “performing art” that we  we are fairly good at and enjoy.

  What is your performing art? how did you come to realize it?  ?
