You would probably be able to help me, concerning the problem of floor for tap.
I give lessons on a stage which seems ideal for practising. The mayor of the little town wants now to build appropriate flooring in a room that has a tiled floor. The city wants to stick the new floor directly upon the tiled floor, which seems inadequate to me! Could you give me hints so that I could tell exactly what is or is not appropriate...
