Shyness

On the first meeting my daughter's singing teacher remarked that she appeared to be shy, though he used another expression I cannot quite recall, something in the vein of being quite delicate and sensitive. He went on saying that people with these features usually make for the better vocalist because they are quite better in expression. Furthermore he assured that the art of singing is not at all about singing out loud, but the lower one can sing and still keep the right note, the better.

I always thought being shy was something undesirable until he turned this notion quite to the contrary. It's utterly sweet indeed.
