Changing teachers

[fgcooke]

I have a concern. I´m a newbie in piano, actually I,ve been studyng only for 6 months and I´m 21 years old. I feel I have made a lot of progress in this short period of time. Anyway, the problem is the following: Even though my teacher has been probably the resposable of this "progression" I feel that she doesn´t have much interest at teaching and she doesn´t seem to have much enthusiasm in my piano class, and I really put a lot of effort studyng each and every day, I even study things "off the piano classes" like Czerny, she only gives me Hanon.  I contacted a piano teacher in the area that has a Tango band and that I know is a very good teacher, he told me he would teach me classical. I´m afraid to make a mistake and start with a "not so good" teacher. What should I do?

Give the new one a try.  What can you lose?  You can always change again.

If you have never actually sat through a lesson with a teacher, you can't judge.

Maybe when you first meet them they have a charming smile and would LOVE to have you for lessons, etc. etc., but that's mainly salesmanship.

So . . .  give the new one a try.
