Ask her to listen to you practice. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck [ Erinn_the_bamf's advice column | Ask Erinn_the_bamf A Question ]

MFS answered Monday March 7 2005, 11:53 am: Ok... being that you just asked about the voice lessons, you might need to decide where you passion lies. If you've been taking piano lessons for a while, there's no reason why you can't continue playing. So, why not go ahead and switch to voice lessons for a while. In fact, you might want to talk to your piano teacher about it, or ask for their professional input on how best to approach this, especially if you'd like to learn to play and sing at the same time.
I'm mostly self-taught on the instruments I play, and there's no reason why you can't let your passion for music fuel your drive to learn it on your own. Lessons are great for refinement of your skills, and admittedly some find the more disciplined approach of formal lessons to be better for their style of learning... so just give it all some thought and don't be afraid to ask your current instructor for their thoughts on the matter.

Tell her its your hobby and you love it....she'll understand...she's your mom. [ gUeSsHoO278's advice column | Ask gUeSsHoO278 A Question ]
xokristabelle answered Monday March 7 2005, 9:59 am: You need to tell your mom what you just told us- chances are if she hears how enthusiastic you are she'll believe you. Make it a point to practice around her, and act happy (if you're not) during your lessons and practices. Maybe make a practice calendar so she'll see how much you practice. Good luck!
