> Those of you who have ended your lessons with a teacher what did you say? I have been wondering what I will say to my current teacher. Shall I tell her why I am quitting lessons with her? Shall I make something up? I feel terribly awkward about this.
I've ended lessons with two teachers, in my history with voice teachers. To both I was very honest - neither teacher was I with for a very long time so it wasn't so bad. I think teachers can sense tension in a relationship generally - even if they wont' fully admit it, or even if it is not confrontational... and I think in my case, both teachers kind of had an idea what was coming. At the last lesson, I brought a small gift to one teacher - but I've had friends who have mailed a thank you card after the final lesson too, which I think is a nice gesture. I simply said that I thought it was time I move on, thanked the teacher sincerely (and I was sincere - b/c neither teacher was horrendous, although neither was totally helping me), and even told both whom I would be working with in the future. Just my experience. Let us know how it works out and good luck!
