neumes - I'll shed a tear with you. Neither my D nor I had any idea that she could even ask for sample lessons until I read it here. It literally changed her whole approach to the search. Her search revolved completely around finding teachers and environments, not schools. Her voice teacher really wants a nurturing environment for her. She also didn't want her in a "tear 'em down before you build 'em up" environment. She has had some students that didn't make it through the "tear 'em down" part. I made the mistake of spending too much time on a professional forum of opera singers at one point. They scared me to death with their stories of ruined voices, politics and mind-games. I had to stop reading.
