And, for a final note, "dcstudio": I proffer the following: In 1971, the top jazz pianist at NTSU was Jim Milne, who was the pianist for the top Lab (laboratory) Band in the school.
He was not allowed to teach jazz piano on campus, for real. I took one lesson from him, and was not impressed. That is/not the point.
The point is, re practice schedules/time and normal piano pedagogy, is that he taught all of his students had to learn every scale, broken chord, and arpeggio in all twelve key signatures. Many decades later, I learned that this was Arnold Schonberg's philosophy, who just so happened to be the "Darling " of NTSU at the time.
The bottom line is that, even if it is Jazz Piano, the person who is feeding you their sincere felt words is doing the same for every other student, and it definitely delineates from a specific/former teacher pedagogical philosophy.
What is wrong with that?"
If it/she (the teacher), does not get the "Human Being," in question, from point A to point B, then all your teacher has done, along with a couple of hundred thousand (U.S.) others, is to take your money!
