@ sylvain:

Having a teacher suggest a possible improvement and a new mouthpiece does not shed any kind of unfavorable light on her! In fact, in your second paragraph you mention: "I see only really two reasons to try new mouthpieces: .... or someone else thinks you could benefit from a different set up."

So, I'm not sure about the contradiction in your post...

Also, the teacher possibly has a very good idea of what a student needs and many students might not realize that there is something better out there because they simply have not tried different things yet...

Personally, I recommend that all my beginner students immediately switch from their "toy" mouthpieces to a Vandoren mouthpiece. Is it because I think they won't be beginners anymore, or because I know they will have an easier time of it and sound better?!
