1- HE DOES NOT PLAY IN FRONT OF ME. That is, he makes me play and corrects me (he has a very good ear and gives sound advices), but i am unable to make him play (except for some very simple pieces we play 4 hands).As a matter of fact, i suspect he cannot really play the pieces i am studying (he does not seem a very good sight-reader, by the way). And i am talking about BEGINNER pieces (most advanced being "Fur Elise").What better way to show how something should sound than to play it? I have no doubt that he can very quickly learn those beginner pieces, but he does not spend the time because HE DOES NOT NEED TO PLAY THEM!!!
2- He does not seem to know a true repertoire for beginners...he insists on giving me Hanon, Czerny, Beyer, and all that boring stuff. So, i have to negociate to make some of those excercises and some the pieces i enjoy to play (that are at my reach).

I have no idea what chord i am playing, or why this chord is usually followed by that other chord, etc etc
