 Re: Increasing speed in older players/ teacher beliefs

"Ginny, I think it partly depends on whether the teacher says these things with a knowing wink, physical or metaphorical. I had a calculus teacher in high school who would josh around about girls and math, and he was very supportive of us. Does this teacher have many adult students?

One thing he said was that he'd never succeeded in teaching an adult student (read that older person) to play fast. That he did not believe I would even be able play scales (and then played the Klose scales) at 112. I certainly can play the easy ones at 112, I went home and did the scale of the week at that speed. Perhaps he wouldn't have counted it as playing for some reason, but I didn't hear any glitches.

I got a whiff of this problem at the previous lesson and put it down to my insecurity. But this was said pretty point blank. He also intially offered to cut the day's lesson to a half hour. I asked if I should bother to come back and then the lesson continued. Clearly, I am not a student he is interested in helping.

I really appreciate the positive support here. People who aren't the first chair have a right to breath air and blow it through a clarinet too.
