Best Of The Corrs

                 Sharon is the second eldest of the siblings. Born on March 24, 1970, two years younger than Jim. She started learning
                 the violin at the age of six. She was taught by a priest called Father McNally. And it was Father McNally who, you could
                 say, encouraged her love of music and made her closer to the classical music she plays today. When she was around
                 seven to fourteen, she was part of the Redeemer Youth Orchestra and was a proud member! She is also proud that she
                 has only ever missed one violin lesson in her life. Now, she is a professional and is capable of teaching.

                 Sharon went to school at the Dun Lughaidh Convent, where she wasn't exactly a perfect student. She was suspended
                 from school on two separate occasions for skipping lessons. She was caught both times and realized she just didn't fit
                 doing that. So, she tried concentrating on her studies. A nun once told her she was going to be a failure all her life. But
                 she didn't disagree. She just kept trying. Look at her now! She's amazing! And no one can go against it!

                 As a teenager, Sharon's bedroom was full of posters of pop and rock bands, with her favorite singer Paul Young taking
                 "pride of place" on her bedroom wall. It was a typical schoolgirl crush, and something that she still cringes about even
                 now. Her music tastes today have changed very little and she is equally comfortable listening to diverse music, ranging
                 from classical to heavy rock.
