It's your dollar, your voice and your career. It's totally up to you, you
are free to do whatever you want, it's up to the maturity level of your
present teacher as to how they handle it. Some teachers can get quite
"Pissy" over something like this, but they should not, it's your choice. If
you're happy with what you're being taught, I'd try to find someone who
teaches a similar approach so that you're not in conflict with the behaviors
you are currently learning.
