Choose Choir Singing if…

Before you commit

Choir Singing

  • Your single voice exposed and wandering off pitch would mortify you.
  • You would rather sing solo than blend and bury yourself in a section.
  • Weekly rehearsals and sight-reading rhythms feel like too much commitment.

DJing

  • Late weekend nights behind the decks do not appeal to you.
  • The steady drain of gear and music on your wallet is a dealbreaker.
  • A train-wreck transition in front of people would mortify you.
