What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do a trial lesson and talk to the teacher about your goals. Ask the teacher for references if you feel you would like to hear what other students think about the lessons. If you believe it's a match, go for it.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Studying voice takes time commitment. Make sure you set aside time both for the lesson and for practicing.
