Cynthia,
Thank you for putting into words something that was bothering me as well.
In my experience, if a teacher feels she/he has a student with great
potential, they'll go out of their way to help that student, and find
opportunities for that student. Afterall, it reflects back on the teacher
if the student is winning competitions and appearing in shows.

Dear Tia,
at the risk of putting my foot in it I've pulled on my galoshes and am
wading in. I snipped your message considerably and hope you and the list
will read the edited version zeroing in on the asterisks.
OK, here's the tough part. I wonder if your teacher hears your voice as a
"career voice" or a "career talent." If she thinks your talent or
musicianship are lacking this could be the cause of her lack of enthusiasm.
I think you should ask her for her assessment of your potential.

changing teachers because we've seem to have hit a philosophical impasse.

teacher seems to understand what I want to accomplish, but the guidance just
doesn't seem to be there.
*****I have mentioned my concerns to the teacher, but I sense a lack of
enthusiasm about working vigorously to get me to the place, I'd like to
be.******
Therefore, I think its time for me to look into
finding someone more conducive to my vision. Thank you
for your help.>Tia
