User blog comment:KressKross/Does Weiss actually sing?/@comment-24994749-20140806124226

It is possible she knows how to sing but she doesn't like doing it. Traditionally, in European culture, young women being educate din the performance of certain arts (namely drawing, singing and playing piano and harp) was a sign of social status and a woman's ability in one or several of these areas was often presented as an indicator of how desirable of a candidate for marriage she was (Jane Austen novels portray this very well). Depending on the way the Schnee family behaves, they might have made Weiss study singing as a sign of her social status regardless of her personal interests. Making her sing in contests or social events of some sort to display her talent. Then, in her mind, she imagined than rather than singing she was doing she enjoyed or found more useful (as I get the feeling Weiss has never sat down to wonder what she enjoys doing) like fighting.
