Preparing for a new teacher?
I've done it -- I actually scheduled a one-time lesson with my college teacher while my current teacher is gone for the summer (I've been planning to, but I just got off the phone with him - the lesson is in 3 weeks). I haven't played for him in probably 16 years, and 13 of those years I wasn't playing at all. I've been taking lessons again for 3 years now. What I'm wanting from him is 1) mid-summer course corrections if I'm developing bad habits, and 2) a boost and encouragement to keep practicing while I don't have regular lessons, as well as someone else's imput on my playing.

Now I'm a little panicked - how do I prepare for something like this? It isn't going to be like a regular lesson with my regular teacher where it is a continuation of what we were doing two weeks ago... Please share your thoughts or similar experiences!

TIA,

Margaret

keep cool!
It's important to find a topic for yourself, which you want to work at in this "special" lesson, and you seem to have that topic already. It's NOT important to impress the teacher for one lesson. So - keep cool, just play as you play and try to find out as much as you can!
Have fun!
