That's a great idea, I'm sure the class can help point you in the right direction for where to begin preforming in your area (I mean it, you have a really nice voice, perfect to sing with a piano maybe? or guitar?).
I sing and play guitar in my ska/punk/reggae band, we just got back together and did a mini tour after breaking up a few years ago. Other than that, I do my own acoustic gigs and recordings and occasionally play the sax in jazz ensembles.
