Singing lessons are a good thing....

I have a question which I hope will make for a good discussion. I was talking to my daughter Erica who is ten about something she would enjpy participating in. Alot her friends take different types of classes and her dad wont her take any because he doesnt have the time to take her and pick her up. So I told her I would enroll her if she a particular intrest . She said she would think about it and let me know. Well her stepdad heard her singing and told her she was really good at it. I hear her sing all the time and I think she had a natural talent for it but I didnt want to sound like the boosting mom. So I suggested singing lessons to her and she got really upset. She said singing lessons were for people with really bad voices and that I must think she is a horrible singer. I told her singing lessons werent for people with really bad voices. It was a way to learn different techniques and the right pitch and notes and alot of other stuff. You can go from having a good voice to a great voice. I told her she has a natural talent at singing so why not take classes to get better and later on try to make a career from it. She still was upset so I dropped it. She has some ideas on classes she wants to take so she will be choosing one from her list. I wont push her on the singing lesson but I hope one day she will ask me if she can take them. So so you agree that if comeones takes singing lessons its not because they are a horrible singer its just to learn so you can grow and develope and later on become a outstanding singer. Even being a singer means learning the trade and practicing.
