I’ve been having a few regrets lately now that I’ve seen how far One Direction have come, and how great they are after being on The X Factor .I’m 16, I love singing, and I play guitar too. I used to have lessons in singing, drama and dance but I stopped after it became too expensive. I have also been to a record label, and done an interview before on their request. Something about how serious it all became once I was at the label, scared me as I was only 14, so I didn’t take them up on their offer after the interview. Now, I’m thinking of the ‘what-ifs’ I don’t want to be famous really, but I just love singing so much, and performing makes me happy and gives me a rush. Should I just practice, and keep it as a hobby?
Thanks!

I mean literally everything I’ve ever tried. I got bullied from been 11 til about 14 which has made me loose confidence in myself, probaby making everything harder as I lost confidence in myself because of them. I’ve tried sports; I failed. Academically, I was average. I don’t have a lot of friends but I don’t care too much about that. I love music but I’ve never sang in my life. If I open my mouth to sing nothing comes out which shows I’d be no good as a singer (Even though thats what I’d love to do more than anything). I’ve tried Guitar and piano in my music lessons but thats back when I was depressed about the fact I couldn’t do anything without someone insulting me so I didn’t bother trying. I’m not confident in talking to people so getting a job is going to be hard. I don’t want to see a doctor about depression or tell anybody about how I feel cause then I would basically be admitting how pathetic I am. I thought about suicide but realised it’s poitnless but I have to ask what the point in life is if I have nothing and no one? Is the point of my life to suck at everything and just constantly be in pain?
I’ve tried gaming. Yet again I was average.
It is pathetic though cause my family will start to feel sorry for me, treat me like a 8 year old which in turn would make me feel pathetic.

I sing a lot around the house & in the shower etc. Once at school I sang as Danny from Grease in a performance… I can sing quite deep for fun, but in general, I’m really not a very good singer. I don’t have enough money to afford singing lessons and things but I’d really like to learn to sing. I play piano and guitar and I love to act on stage and things so it’d be a really useful thing to learn. Is it possible to learn to sing without spending heap loads of money on it?

I want to start writing a song.
But my problem is that i cant play guitar yet, or keyboard. Or any musical instrument.
I have a guitar, but cant play it :L Cant get lessons either, because i take expensive singing lesssons.
What shall i do about the fact that i want to write a song but need something to help me with the tune.
How can i learn the basics of guitar?!

Sorry , loads of questions in one there ! :L

I am studying two Btec’s at sixth form, Music and Performing arts. All I want to do is sing and I am seriously unmotivated on my assignments due to the fact that I am now so behind on them. I would like to carry on but im just really behind.

I thought that wanting to go into the music industry i need experience, not grades! I do singing lessons and I play the guitar, i also write songs!!

I just haven’t got any time to write them anymore and i have no time to get gigs, I can get ucas points from singing and guitar grades and If i get noticed or anything i can say that i have lots of experience!!

If i left sixth form i will get all that done, record a demo, travel to london, work with producers etc. Surely that has got to be better for my career???:)

Also my dad owns a recruitment company so if everything fails i still wont need proper eduction, i will 100% be able to take that over in good time:) (He earns a really good wage) soooooo
Whats to loose??

Tbh, i really need some advice! could you give me your opinion??
Bring me back to reality??
Thank you!!:) x

Im a fifteen-year-old girl who likes all kind of music, and I’ve been wanting to start the guitar for a while now, but I don’t know which one to take up? Does anyone have any advice to help me make a decision?

If I do take it up, is it easy to teach yourself or would you have to pay for lessons? Cause our family can’t afford too much…

Or shall I forget the idea completely?

I was considering having drumming lessons. You see i’ve done guitar. It wasnt for me, I got no where. I was considering drums because I like the sound of it, and I like to tap the table etc,.

Eventually If i was good enough i’d try and get into a band. By the way, i’m female.

Any feedback? thanks.
