fiddlefrog, I spoke with Mr. Robert Martin over the phone recently. He said they had yet to assign students to teachers but that since there will only be about 5 pianists in the first year, we will be able to have opportunities to play for all three members of the piano faculty (Melvin Chen, Jeremy Denk and Peter Serkin). I will most likely be studying with Melvin Chen, as he's the teacher I initiated contact with and he has already expressed interest in teaching me. Anyway, Robert Martin said that Peter Serkin prefers to only hear "finished" works, so it will probably work out great if I can study with Mr. Chen on a regular basis and play for Mr. Serkin once a month or so.
