There's a new poll on the page today that will be open until Thursday, 7/2. What's your favorite type of music? Now, I know a simple category can't cover everything; if you want to elaborate, comment!
For me, it's impossible to pick one style (you can pick multiple ones in the poll!). I love classic rock, girl groups from the 60s, the 80s new wave and pop that I grew up with, traditional musical theater, jazz and standards, and even heavy metal! Oh, and I can't forget about classic country and western, or industrial techno! My favorite type of music, though, is something that's fun to sing along to. I love to put on a musical soundtrack or The B52s and just belt it out along with the record. (Record? What's that?) I'm not crazy about music with atonal singing or ambient music with no vocals. It has its place, of course, but it won't be the first thing I put on when I want to listen to some music! What about you?
Welcome!
Whether you come to Singers Forum to take lessons or classes, rent space or join Open Mic, we'd love to hear what you think! Bring on the comments!

This Week's Poll
Check out the left side of the page, and you'll see this week's poll question: What is your favorite class at Singers Forum? I know a lot of people can't choose just one favorite, so once you answer the poll, leave a comment here if you have more to say! Don't be shy -- the web can be a very anonymous place!
I'm starting to think I use too many exclamation points. Must be the coffee!

Wow, That Was Quick!
I just published the bare bones of our page on Facebook. They haven't started "vanity urls" for pages yet (the way they have for profiles), so you still have to search at Facebook for "Singers Forum". Happily, we come up first!
I'm the only fan right now, so I'd love some company! If you aren't on Facebook, I say, go for it. If you have questions about it (how does it work? does everyone see my posts?), I'd be happy to answer them!
Talk to you soon!

First Official Post!
Hi everyone! I know no one is reading this yet, because it's my first official post to our new blog, but I know it will have archival value!
If you don't know me, my name is Alexia and I'll be blogging for SF here, the same way I've blogged on MySpace for a few years. I thought I'd make our blog a little more accessible to our students, renters and friends, as well as add some fun features, like slideshows and polls. Please let me know what you'd like to see here, because it's more fun to blog interactively than to blog by yourself! That's like singing in the shower; you know you sound great, but it's ultimately more satisfying with real live applause!
Right now, the summer semester is upon us, and although it's usually a slow time, Singers Forum is buzzing with activity. I'm psyched to check out the performance for Lennie Watts and Steven Ray Watkins' latest installment of The Arrangement Experience. The theme is The 80s, and, let's be honest, that's one of my favorite eras of music. Could be because I grew up to it, but you never can tell! (I wasn't alive in the 40s, but I love the big bands!)
OK, so this post is going to be short and sweet, because I know you are all very busy. Plus, I've got to get to setting up our Facebook page and our Twitter account. This modern world takes a lot of effort (well, typing)! but don't forget, although we're there for you digitally, we are ALWAYS there for you for the real live, face-to-face interaction that all singers need!
Don't forget to let me know what you think, and I'll talk to you again soon!
