As a person whose done a lot of singing and typing, I agree. I worked in a
professional touring choir for two years right after university and it not
only bankrolled my lessons and coachings, it taught me a great deal about
sight reading and working with others that has been invaluable to me. My
only choral thing left is a dreamy church gig where I do two services a
Sunday with four other professionals. We sing Renaissance polyphony.
Heaven!
