As Little Miss Hates Confrontation (seriously), I have always moved in order to break up with someone, voice teachers, friends, husband (again, seriously). Do you HAVE to say anything to her? Can you just say you've decided to take a break (unspoken text: "from her") and you plan to start up lessons again soon (unspoken text: "not with her")? I'm just thinking about what someone else said - she may be better connected, at least locally, than you know, and you don't want to tick her off. Or you could say that you'd like a longer lesson time, and with her busy schedule, you knew she didn't have time....
I know, I'm a wimp. I just hate hurting people's feelings, even if I don't like them, and more so, I hate having people be angry with me....
