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.

Yo-yoing

  • You expect to pick things up fast without much grinding.
  • Tangled string and a yo-yo that dies mid-trick would make you quit.
  • Looking clumsy with knocked knuckles while practicing bothers you.
