I wasn't actually trained by my mother, she said she never taught me but she was a great singer herself and I can't remember when I didn't listen to her sing and imitate her.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I love to sing. I never had any formal training. My mother is a singer, and I picked up listening to her.
My mother tried to teach me when I was a small child to sing but failed because of my inability to carry a tune.
Growing up, I can remember singing along with my ma all of the time. I wouldn't say she necessarily 'taught' me how to sing, but she was definitely the first person to inspire me to sing and the first to intrigue me vocally. I've always had a natural ear for music, though.
My mom was an opera singer, and she gave up her career to raise a family. But she also taught my sisters how to sing.
It was my Mum who got me into singing properly - she knew I had to do something with my voice because she knew I was talented. She was the one who pushed me into joining a choir all those years ago, when I was about 12. I remember she told me to start with the choir and just see where it took me.
I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.
When I was very young, I started trying to sing like the great tenor Mario Lanza; my family used to play his records. We all learn best by imitating others.
My mother gave me singing lessons; that was totally painful, because I couldn't do what she wanted to hear. She used to say: there's more there, there's more voice but I just didn't want to give it to her.
I took vocal lessons all through my childhood and still do. I was classically trained.
I've taken singing lessons since I was young, just to work on technique.
