<p>I think many schools will be willing to arrange a lesson once you have settled on a list. The only thing that I would caution about is that faculty at schools changes very frequently. It might be a mistake to choose a program based on a particular instructor only to have that person leave the program. It might be better to talk to some of the voice teachers and choose based on a philosophy of the program. We do know of one girl (Voice and MT) who turned down all of her acceptances and scholarships to attend a program because of a particular instructor. She found out in April that the teacher was leaving the program. She chosen that school primarily because of that one instructor and was devestated. Fortunately for her, she went to her 2nd choice school that she had turned down, and they accepted her and reinstated her scholarship. I think that is pretty unusual, but she got lucky (and is very talented- I’me sure they were excited to get her!) In any event, there is a lot more to any program than any one teacher, and it can be risky to pick a program on that basis.</p>
