Hmmm.

Have you tried suggesting you guys get together to play duets? Perhaps
initiating a friendship will ease the uneasiness between you, as it did
for some of the other respondents to your inquiry.

I wouldn't ask your teacher not to take her on as a student because I
don't think it would help either of you deal with the situation. It
certainly couldn't hurt to speak to the director.

Let us know how it turns out.

Sincerely,

Jennifer H. Jones
