woes of voice lessons
hey everyone, it's been awhile. I just got out of my first voice lesson with my new teacher and I feel awful. In the lesson I was trying hard to do what he wanted me to do but I didn't know how and he wasn't really explaining. I got frustrated and the tears started to come up. Part of it is that I'm mad I don't have my old professor and upset that I'm now studying with a grad student as opposed to Professor Sam Shepperson like I was supposed to be. I feel like I've been downgraded. I know they have a shortage of vocal professors this year, but being that I've gotten used to having a Professor and have studied at that level, I feel like I should have a little priority over the beginning students. I was told the reason I am not studying with Sam is because the students with vocal scholarships have priority over those who don't. I don't. So therefore, all these incoming Freshmen have professors. Or is it that they were just better than me?
I know I went into my lesson today with the wrong attitude toward my new teacher, but it probably won't go away for a while, when I've given the newbie a chance and gotten used to his techniques. I was comparing him to Brad though, wishing he would explain things to me like Brad did. I guess I'll simply have to make the best of all this. I can't go around forever moping about the situation and I would turn out worse than I am right now.
I'm feeling kind of lightheaded.
