I have a question about contacting teachers prior to taking a lesson. Hello, I am new to this site, so please forgive me if this information is covered somewhere else on this site. I am interested in taking a lesson. I see it is possible to send a message to a potential teacher. Is it acceptable to exchange a few messages?, or is it preferable to just sent one. I would not expect a teacher to spend a long time exchanging messages, but it would be nice to think that two or three exchanges could be done. I do not want to be a nuisance or break any rules. Does any body know how these things are normally done. Thank you for reading this, any suggestions will be welcomed.
