Illustration: Inside a small rented music practice room, a woman sings into a microphone on a stand. Her mouth is rounded around a sustained note, her chin comfortably lifted, and one hand marks the beat near her chest. Beside her, a friend plays an acoustic guitar and watches her for the next phrase.
