Being a musician myself, I connect to the protagonist in this ficlet. The butterflies before your first song is the reason, we singers, play music. Conquering the fear is half the thrill.

I have one lil critique however.
In this sentence:
I knew that I was good, but I couldn’t sing in front of my school friends, can I?

you switch from past-tense to present tense. I suggest using ”..could I?” instead of ”..can I?”
But other than that – it reads nicely.

This is a good story. It needs a sequel. Keep writing (:

I have to agree with Alro. For us performers half of the fun and joy you get is conquering the jitters that hit you just as you are about to perform. I also agree that that part might sound better as “could I?”. Besides that its a great first Ficlet! Great job!

yea i like it
