What advice or recommendations would you give to those who are now beginning to sing?
Don't give up.
It's easy in music to get discouraged and decide to give up, but you'll only succeed by doing!
Keep practicing, playing, performing.
Do you want to add something more about your relationship with music?
You'll only get better the more of your heart and soul is invested.
