Re: How to gracefully switch teachers

When I was in college, my first clarinet professor gave me this advice: "Study with everyone you can study with!" "Be a sponge...learn everything you can from everyone you can." "Learn everything you can from me, then go and learn everything you can from so-and-so, and so-and-so, etc."

It was great advice. He would never have been hurt by me approaching him about also learning from an additional teacher. In fact, he recommended it when a specific teacher was in town for a semester.

If that's rare - then I never knew how lucky I was. It was a great way to learn. (Of course, I can't imagine it working if all parties involved weren't fully aware and accepting of the setup.)
