This is my first time posting, so please don’t roast me over my question. My DD is a junior at a performing arts HS and is planning to pursue a BFA in MT. Up to a few weeks ago, she worked with her artistic director on monologues, has an awesome vocal technique coach, and takes dance lessons at 2 different studios.
As a long time board lurker (and the aunt of a senior who just finished the audition season), I had already planned to hire a college audition coach so we took the plunge a month ago with MTCA. I have to say, everyone has been awesome so far and I think we made a good choice. HOWEVER, we have another fairly well known (and it appears equally well connected) coach about 90 minutes from us. He offers some services and workshops that are appealing (mostly because it would save me a ton flying to and from NY), but I want her to get her primary performance coaching from MTCA as their coaches are working professionals and really seem to have a great handle on audition requirements & preparing the students for what is to come.
So here’s my question; as a saavy consumer with money to burn, is it OK to hire two different coaches who can bring different things to the table or is this unethical? As far as I’m concerned, this is a business arrangement and I don’t see a problem with it. However, I haven’t (nor should I have to) broached this with either coach. I know some coaches get very possessive about THEIR students. (Moo Crew, etc) Constructive opinions welcome.
