| Perhaps you could have your current teacher call or email these two teachers and discuss your strengths & weaknesses, personality, rep., voice, etc etc ... When my son was preparing to make a decision, his violin teacher called his prospective teacher and they ended up speaking many hours about his playing, things he needed to work on, etc. It was very helpful. If your teacher can communicate w/ the teachers (and take notes), then the two of you can sit down and perhaps make a more rational, thought-out decision. Of course having a lesson is the best way - but living overseas, I can see where that just won't work for you. Also, have you spoken at length with the teachers? There are other websites where voice students discuss working with certain teachers - you might get some info there as well. At any rate - congratulations on two exceptional opportunities -- I wouldn't want to have to face that decision, but I bet you would do well with either one. Good luck! |
