Hi Susan,
You are very kind. I actually have their e-mail adds and I know various details abt them from RCM pages BUT I wanted to know/hear abt their personalities for a good reason.
For eg, my girl has a free ticket to Maciej Rakowski's masterclass in the summer and so I go abt finding out anything abt him personally partly bec she actually asked me questions and partly bec it makes the class more interesting to us both that way. With teachers, they are usually "able" professionally (to teach very well) but their personalities come into play when you consider whether you want to attend a masterclass (or consultation lessons for the matter) as an observer or as "the" demonstration student. The chemistry makes a critical difference even if the masterclass/lesson is only a one-off thing for a special piece you are doing.
Thanks and cheers!
