Visiting but NOT Taking a Lesson

Ditto on the practice rooms. Some people don’t mind windowless cubbies, but those conditions are hard on some musicians. Likewise, it is a good idea to check out the rehearsal spaces. My son had a jam session in one school in a room with no windows and extremely poor ventilation. It was uncomfortable! I asked the other guys if this was a typical rehearsal space, and they said that they used it all the time. That school was dropped from my son’s list (not just for the practice rooms though; he didn’t particularly click with the teacher either). One would never know these things without the visit.
