@glassharmonica Is correct. You’ve identified instructors who can definitely pick their students (and reject many other aspirants). You should have no concerns that anyone of them doesn’t know what he or she is doing in their teaching approach. The best way to find out which works best with you and your learning style is a private lesson or two (as you indicate you know).

Some of your concerns, although fine for a younger student, seem rather inappropriate for a potential Master’s student. How does a teacher “motivate”?? By this level, a student had better be very self-motivated. At a Masters level in these studios, teachers are not going to accept students with major “technical problems”.

Pre-screens will be due for schools in a month or so. Each of your identified schools/teachers is competitive and even passing pre-screens is not a given at some of those schools you’ve mentioned. Good luck!!
