I go away for two weeks, and come back to find everything falling down: my teacher called last night to tell me that, due to a family situation she's going through, she had to make the decision to suspend her twice-weekly classes until after the summer. I've already thought up of two other teachers I could go to, and plan to do some more shopping around this week, but I'm still really sad about not being able to go to my regular teacher, as I really prefer her classes. Right now, I suspect I'm basically looking at about six months of not having regular class sessions, but instead taking workshops, ocassional lessons, and relying on videos, and I would love to hear your tips on getting the most out of these when not going to class. Additionally, I also wish there was something I could do for my teach, as doubtless this is a blow for her, both emotionally and financially, so any extra advice on this from instructors who have gone through similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
