Ethics of Coaching
The proper procedure of switching coaches is as follows. Notify your current coach, in person and in writing. Be sure all lessons have been paid up to date, then, you are able to approach another coach about taking lessons with them. The coach should; ask you if you are currently taking lessons from someone, are all your bills paid, she/he will then call your former coach to verify all information you gave is accurate.
No coach is allowed to give you a lesson if you are currently taking from another coach without your current coach's consent.
