re: an often-absent teacher

Unfortunately, this can happen in conservatories a lot
-- usually when a conservatory or graduate music
department has managed to obtain a "name" teacher, who
has an active performing career and promises to fit in
their students around the career.

A friend of mine grew tired of studying only about
half of the time (when her teacher was off performing,
the students got complimentary "coaching" sessions
with a staff accompanist who knew nothing about
opera), and switched teachers.
