Stop talking about it and don't show your anger or delusion.Let some time pass and then ask her again.You must win the trust of people and letting go while also strengthening this trust is the only way. If you now insist too much or make your delusion too evident it will feel even more "ambiguous" to her. But it's easier to trust a person who can let things go and doesn't make a fuss about these sorts of thing. Yeah she probably doesn't trust you completely but it's not easy. Sometimes even the ones we trust strongly delude us or cheat. So I can understand the need to make trust a long term thing, getting stronger with time.
I am wondering whether my capacity to remember would be impaired by knowing that it is being recorded. Also I think that the presence of the recording device would be distracting on some level.
I would allow recording yes.So many things are said at a lesson and it's easy to forget something and since the teacher is saw just once a week, that's a lot of time to go without remembering something fundamental which has been said or showed at lesson.
The teacher worries that I will upload the recording in the Internet.
ha ha ... and the teacher is not supposed to have an idea on whether or not her ideas would be helpful to more than one student at once ? The student will tell the teacher that her ideas are useless except for in one context ? I don't think so .
If you record a whole lesson it might be useful to some (but not many cause the approach with each student is individual and many of the things the teacher does and explain to a student have a meaning only with that specific student education) but if you record pieces of lessons where she is explaining something important pertaining problems specific of dora, of her musicality, of her anatomy and of her pieces/repertoire I assure you that no one would want to pay to get those recordings which would be meaningless for whatever other student ...
See, that is fine. The thing is that an informed teacher, one who really knows her stuff would know this then, if that is how it is. So, if dora feels the need to explain this to the teacher, as though teacher does not already know, dora is basically treating the teacher as though she does not know what she is doing. For some teachers, any form of disrespect on behalf of the teacher's knowledge is unacceptable, and this may be seen as disrespectful.However, if recording only portions was never on the table before, then yes, I agree it could be asked about. However, I know that at least I am a curious person. If somebody were selling any portion of particular lessons with particular persons of interest to me, I may still be tempted to purchase it myself (if I didn't know it was done without consent) -- just to get even a little taste of something sweet -- and fill in everything missing with my own imagination. But anyway, now for me this ventures into ethics and information availability and so on.
think this thread has blown out proportion. Firstly, the purpose of the recording is extra personal reminder of the teacher's comment on the material I am studying. Once I understood and I can execute and express the technique and meaning of the repertoires. The recording will be wiped out, and I will record the next problem spot. The video tape is only hold 60 minutes which the lesson is spent.
I think the world is fear that the big brother watching and what if .......that something happen. The negative whole effect is robbing an eager and decent person to learn the music. The very super pianists like Baremboim, Bolet, Maria Joao Pires give masterclass to their students, it is also recorded. It is also free from Youtube, there is no charge. What is the matter? Teacher and students even someone we might not know can't exchange idea and learning passion. "FEAR" "What" !!.
I am just mad about the insecurity. I have been going the teacher for 2 years. All the sudden, I might do something ......Where is the encouragement in the beginning ? Where is the Good idea in the beginning because someone has said something bad about it? If the teacher is fear students and give you insecure or negative comment, she shouldn't teach, shouldn't take people money ( charge me $80 a hour per lesson) . Right!
