To be honest, I think most of your questions will be style questions with the teachers involved, and in many ways the answers to those questions depend a lot on how you see those questions. I could study with a teacher and find them very motivating, another student might find them to be a pain in the neck. Some will tell you a teacher is great to work with, another will tell you they are a jerk. As an MM student, a lot of what you ask is not going to be coming from the teacher, when a teacher assigns a new piece of repertory, they will expect you I would expect to do the basic work on mastering the piece, and they would simply fine tune it with you. At that level, too, it is unlikely they would accept students with major technical issues, and if someone had something of a flaw they were already working with, they likely would point it out but would expect the student to work out most of it.

Some people on here may comment on those teachers (|All of whom are respected teachers who at an MM level will teach only selected students), probably in private, some of those questions you may be able to get answers via e-mail from the teacher if you ask about their approach, their philosophy and so forth. What is also valuable is if you could possibly meet with the teacher either before auditioning, during the audition process or if you get admitted, before you make a decision, because you won’t really get an idea what a teacher is like until you start to work with them, hence a sample lesson.
