I am a singer, a vocal performance major to be exact. My question is this..who out here has their own "Angel of Music". A person who inspires them to sing, play, etc.
I do, he's my best friend, I never really get to see him anymore but he's always telling me that I can achieve anything as long as I keep singing.
Ok, he's no Erik (le sigh sweatdrop ) but what can I say?

My Angel of Music unfortunetly isn't a guy crying but she's just as great!
You see my grandmother Anne-Marie died before i started taking voice
lessons cry but when ever she would take me places she would always ask me to sing for her (even though i wasn't very good then) and she always told her frineds that I was the most beautiful angel in her life and that my singing was what kept her healthy. Well the last time I saw my Grandmother before she died she told me that I was her Diamond in rough and that i was ment for greatness and that if i didn't sing for anyone that i should at leasr sing for her. It's been 5 years since she died an she never really get to hear me really sing, so every preformance i only sing for her. (if you think this sounds really corny im sorry)

I'm not a singer, but a pianist. My Angel of Music is a man I have never met, nor will I ever -- Franz Liszt. I read the stories, I see his music, and I wish to be better than I am.
I suppose it isn't terribly inspirational, but we all have our idols, don't we?

actually, i have two. first of all, my father is an incredible singer and all my life I've been daddy's little girl. So I've been singing for years, striving to be as good as him. We finally did a duet performance recently, and it was like a dream come true. at that performance, my other angel of music was present too, the love of my life, who is a musician and a good singer himself. He is the soul behind my music.

I've got 1 1/2. Well, 1 and 1/4. ...1/100.
In other words, someone who's totally my inspiration, and then someone who... sort of is. Or was, anyway.
NO. TWO whole ones. Only one's not for singing.
Bah. Allow me to elaborate. xd
My friend, Nettie, is one of my inspirations. She wishes for nothing more than to be a Broadway actress, even if she starves with no money the entire way there. She takes dancing and singing lessons (I'm actually about to start lessons with her teacher! *exited* 4laugh ) and piano lessons, and she's amazing at all of them. She sings beautifully, and she's always the first one I look to when I have trouble with the choreography during the musicals. (I dance like a drugged elephant.)
The other one isn't for singing, but, rather, for violin. My orchestra teacher, Mr. Mellander. I spend every free period I have the entire day, if I'm not practicing for something coming up soon for voice, down in the music wing with him. Either talking about music in general, rehearsing, discussing what we sohuld play in orchestra, etc. He's an absolutely amazing violinist, and apparently thinks I have an untapped talent for playing he's trying to reach. He told my parents this during parent-teacher, and then pointed out to me one day that sometimes, honestly, I sound horrible, but there's just this special spark I have that really makes him want to make me practice more often. And that I remind him of some of the people he plays with. 4laugh (He's told me about some of his cohorts- absolutely amazing people.) He's not rude or anything with he critisizes- he's truthful, and he only says something negative if he has a way to improve it. I've learned a lot from him in the last few months. heart
The last one was, at one time, the greatest inspiration to my life, but, since I've lost all respect I ever had for him, he isn't quite as much. Ever since I was ten, I've known this boy, my age, named Adam. Adam LaSalle. Remember that name. As little respect as I have for him, I can't deny I don't expect to see him on Broadway one day. From the first time I met him, he had this curious aspect to him that drew me to him, and, after spending some time with him, I realized why; he had the purest singing voice I'd ever heard. Pure, utter gold. Sure, he wasn't always exactly graceful (*sniggers*), but his voice... just hearing it made me want to become a more accomplsihed singer, maybe just so, one day, in the far future, maybe I'd be on stage with him, singing as his equal, and not in a huge croud upstage (which is away from the audience- downstage is nearer to them), singing in the chorus. He recently caused me to lose all the respect I've retained for him in the last five years in a few months, but I can't deny the fact I still have that dream of being his equal. Although now, instead of trying to get him to notice me, it's sort of... trying to show him I'm not as worthless as he thinks I am.
3nodding And that was long. Very long indeed.

My "angel of music" is ... well I now have two of them after I saw Wicked in Chicago... One is my choir director Ms. Kosh and my other is Ana Gasteyer because she was my first Elphaba. They really honestly guide my in my music things even though one of them doesn't know I exsist and the other thinks I'm insane. They are still my angels.

My "Angel of Music" is my teachers at school. Not once have they doubted taht I could make it onto Broadway, especially my Drama teachers. The teachers at my school are very supportive with everyone, ultimately, but I'm one of the few that they've never given up on.
Others include my family, relatives, friends, pets.........you get the picture lol

My "Angel of Music" is a boy I know who LOVES the Phantom of the Opera. He's constantly singing, and he plays the piano. I also happen to be his Christine, if ya get my drift.
He used to have dark hair, but he recently dyed it blonde, so he's looking a bit more like Raoul (or Legolas) these days... rolleyes

*points down to her siggie* See the guy in the piccie at the top? That is Michael Crawford...he is my Angel of Music.
I have been singing on and off since I was 4, but it was not until Michael found me and took me under his great dark wings and gave me something to aspire to that I discovered true art. I know this is strange for me to say, but I believe it.

I guess you could say that I have two, possibly three. My voice teacher being one of them. She always encouraged me throughout my lessons with her, but she unfortunately had to stop teaching lessons because she got into a full time job and didn't have time to come out to my school anymore. Then there are my parents, my dad especially. When ever I'm in the car, he always tell me to sing louder so he can hear me and makes me laugh in the process. My mother has always told me to do solos in my church choir, but I never seem to get the courage to do it, but she still persists and has always been there for me.
