See, how prompt and expert Miss Mercedes is at sending "voice-consultants"
to the woodshed !
Clearly, her experience speaks for her. And, wow, if that was not a "screed"
!

But astoninshingly enough, she somewhat struck a chord there (in math : a
false proposition can implicate a right one).

Now, in slightly terser terms, here are a few home-truths, Lea, to help you
seperate the wheat from the chaff (for Bible freaks only) :

1) Pregnancy takes nine months, not three, especially when it comes to
recheduling students

2) Attack is the best defense : your teacher's current stiffness as to the
suitable programm for you to rehearse is surely a mask to her guilt feelings
about her self-assessed unreliability.

3) However, the shopkeeper belonging in the shop, don't expect an absentee's
devices to work wonders in the distance.

4) Rather remember : When the cat is away, the mice will play. Hey, What a
relief ! Now it's your shot. You'll see if it scores...

5)...which, ultimately, is the actual lesson for you to learn, so either
bless or curse the
remiss individual in your teacher's clothes for leaving you alone, but don't
call it quits. Do face the quandary. Do grope in the dark. And listen.

And, once you've outgrown yourself from the umpteenth similar situation, one
remote day, you'll be more prone to firstly checking on the true human worth
of your teacher, which, to me, is the all-telling one, since, unlike Miss
Mercedes, I happen to believe that a genuine Voice Master(er) is here to
give every commited student the Midas' Touch, beyond individual voices and
choices, whereas Mr. Impostor always ends up showing his ugly mug.
