<p>DD is happy that her teacher is no longer performing since the weekly lessons are very regular. The few misses are made up when they can both schedule them. Studio is rarely missed. Her roommate on the other hand is with a still performing and recognized teacher. There are many more misses that are still made up. It means some weeks she has 2 or more lessons. TA’s do not take them over, however the Master/Doctoral students in the studio will run studio sessions from time to time. For DD, the regularity is important to her. For her roommate it is not. So not only important to understand how the studio works, but how you work, too, to make a good match.</p>
<p>And for her, location was important since she has many more voice issues in the winter and cold. She decided she was not going very far north.</p>
