Here's a little alternative to the tapping foot you can try:

Try keeping time with your big toe. I have been playing clarinet/saxophone professionally for 25 years and I have always done this. It must be pretty subtle, because nobody has ever said anything about it. (And I have played with some pain in the neck musicians. They WOULD HAVE said something at one point or another)

Give it a try. As long as you do not wear open toed shoes to your lessons, your instructor will never know.

I can't figure out the opposition to the metronome. When I played in a cruise line orchestra, we used a "click track" for the main shows. We wore headphones and part of the music was on tape and the rest was provided by the orchestra. We constantly got a metronome beat through the headphones.
