These links are helpful…thanks, @SpiritManager

For those having arranged or tried to arrange sample lessons recently, could you share your experience here?

I’d be especially interested in knowing if anyone is able to secure lessons for this summer, as that could possibly be the only feasible days for my S, an international student going to attend summer programs in Jun and Jul in the US (we’re not certain whether he’ll be able to come back during the audition season).

Any input would be appreciated.

Most faculty will be traveling to summer festivals throughout the months of June-August. Track them down now and ask if your student can arrange a sample lesson or, as many put “play for them” (which gets them off the hook for committing to a full lesson.) Some will have time for visits from unenrolled students, others won’t.
