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.

Sound Healing

Doubt about subtle, subjective effects would gnaw at you every session.
You want a clear, measurable result, not something this gentle and slippery.
Some sessions feeling like sitting with pretty noises would frustrate you.
