Take a short drive to Cleveland to see Ron Bishop. Do anything to avoid studying with Sumner. I met him when he first got the job, and have friends who played in the PSO with him. Although I have never had a lesson, I believe that he has a different approach, and would be a poor teacher.

Another thing to consider is that he was a prodegy, getting the job at age 19. Sometimes, when something comes easily to a player, they have difficulty imparting their knowledge to others.
