Hi Ashley,
Singing was really enriching, allowing me to "minister" in a church, although I took lessons, and sang in a conservatory too. The performance part of the choir allowed me to deal with stage fright/uneasiness. I even took a course in singing and stage fright, and my "paranoia" was confirmed.
The one exercise I'll never forget in the music anxiety course was one to help me focus. A young attractive woman literally lay across a piano, as she sang, to challenge me.
That was a skill-building course which helped me in the regular sunday choir, with a unique approach.
I also enjoy music, so that I am moved emotionally when listening to it. I've never had a music "collection" strangely enough, since I was a child and would make those tape reels of music -no media, just 2 CD's of an opera singer called "Cecilia Bartoli"(mezzo soprano opera) and some religious CD collection by some nuns.
I've never been able to listen to music to perform any task that required attention, except cleaning.
