Wow…original poster here…I literally was just “thinking out loud” when I posted, I had no idea how much of a response my question would get…but I’m glad it did! It confirms to me that we are or were
all in the same boat, just trying to do our best whether we choose a coach or not. Finances play a part, etc. still trying to figure out what we will choose for my daughter…we already pay for dance and voice lessons, so maybe a monologue coach…I don’t know…again just thinking out loud. And as for people asking which schools said this…I specifically left that out of my initial question because I did not want comments like “oh, that school…blah blah blah”. But I will say that one of the schools is quite prestigious when mentioned on here and the other is one that gets bashed on here…which I also thought was interesting…
