<< I really don't appreciate reading posts that, for all intents and purposes, are calling Lea Ann's teacher a bad teacher. No one has that right with such limited information. Maybe (s)he's new to the profession and doesn't have a set method for teaching certain things yet, maybe (s)he's having a hard time giving Lea Ann an example to which she can really relate (everyone learns differently), or maybe Lea Ann has a very unique kind of voice that this teacher hasn't encountered much, if at all, in the past. I know my voice just baffled my voice teacher along with others who have heard me, as it would any of you if you heard it. >>
I'm not trying to change your mind, but frankly, I haven't noticed anyone giving the impression that her teacher is bad. I've had 2 or 3 students that I've never gotten anywhere with (I've been teaching now as a full-time job since 9/98). I think we've all given suggestions of exercises that we like, and I've picked up a few things from other people's suggestions as well. More than a few people have said, "without hearing you, it's hard to know..."
