Consider Your Learning Style and Temperament
Musicians, especially pianists, can be solitary creatures. Consider what 'you' need to thrive in a piano immersion program. Is privacy and a high degree of personal attention important to you? Would learning in a very small group (less than 4) work best for you? Do you want to learn and perform with others? Consider your own learning style and also whether you are amenable to dormitory type housing versus private accommodations. These factors can help narrow down the choices and ensure the best possible outcome for you.
