I have always hated singing. I was introduced to it as the son of two concert pianists, trained at Juilliard and winners of international competitions, one of whom eventually became a voice and choir teacher (along with international baccalaureate music theory/history and other subjects). But growing up in my so-called "classical" music bubble, I was always taught -- well, not taught, but maybe steered towards the notion (well maybe that's just my fiction...) -- that singing, especially choral singing, especially casual choral singing, wasn't the same sort of feat as playing a Brahms piano concerto.
