I was just wondering who here sings for grades, has lessons or sings regularly (not like in the shower lol). Just curious to know who else enjoys using their voice as one of their instruments.

I always sing for my own satisfaction first and then look at others to enjoy. When alone my voice is my instrument and keep myself singing and enjoying into the new vistas i get into.

I sing often as a liturgical cantor in church when my regular soloist isn't available. I'm also the organist, so I also accompany myself when in that mode. I also sing in the shower

I find I can sing fairly well alone.

Too self conscious when others are present though. When doing solfege in music theory class I can hardly bring myself to use enough air to get a steady tone out of my voice.

I am a studying voice right now so I have to sing. Right now I am singing mezzo soprano repertoire but my teacher is reserving the right to move me to soprano if my range changes significantly.

i sing. i passed my ABRSM grade 8 with merit in november and i will be doing a diploma in singing next year. i class voice as my main instrument and i do sing regularly in performances and such

My favorite voice is that of Tom Waits (Link), so that might give you an idea of how I sing...

I have my grade 8... been in a church choir for about 7 years.. and write a lot of choral music. I love to sing!

Singing is great - not just for for music skills but for social skills too!! everyone can sing and they should, although think how noisy the work would become! Bring on the madrigal parties....

i dont really fit in a category as far as range goes i guess i am a baritone. I cant read notes but i still sing alot. Usually mozarts work.

I sing too much heavy metal stuff I can go from old 80s sounding stuff to pantera but it hurts to do so

I sing classical music, I´m training to go to the conservatoire of Amsterdam for classical singing, and if I then fail as a solo performer I´ll teach singing, I´m very determined on that. I´m now doing a last half year of preparing for the conservatoire, so yes I sing.
I mostly sing opera aria´s or classical ´songs´ (1600-1850).
