[musictlk] would this make you uncomfortable

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I would choose a female who either has a degree in voice or is a master's or
doctorate student in voice. Could they come to your school to give you
lessons? I am wondering why no one at your school can give you voice
lessons. Or does your school not have a music instructor? 

Thanks
Lauren

Hello,
I was given a list of voice teachers by my choir president.  
There were about 10 or 15 of them on the list.  One of the teachers I
contacted got back to me (this was a couple months
ago) and he told me that he would do lessons in his apartment in Montville
Township which is part of Medina.  He also said that he does not play any
instruments and therefore relies on the use of backing tracks to teach his
students.  He also does not have a music degree.  Rather, he bases his
teaching off of performance experience.  I know there are some teachers who
teach like that and that's not what makes me uncomfortable.  The part I am a
little uneasy about is taking lessons from a male teacher in an apartment.
Part of the reason I'm considering him is because he's in my budget.  He
also suggested that I should contact the high school choir director (which
by the way I have no way to
reach) and request a practice room at the high school.  I am wondering if
you guys think this approach sounds suspicious at all.  I would be ok
studying with a male teacher, but only if it was in a place where there
would be others around.  Otherwise, I would definitely prefer to study with
a female.  What do you think? Are my concerns about this teaching style
valid or should I contact him again and see if he can come up with a
different approach?
Thanks,
Kelsey Nicolay
