September 2007 I fuond a new teacher who retired to have a baby in the December.
September 2008, I enquired about privates and got a couple of very fulsome emails about my abities, of the is she really talking about me variety, eg was I thinking of performing or teaching. Then we had one private.
Well turned out she wasn't actually talking about me, as last week she emailed my friend and asked her to be a founder member of a new troupe. Friend said she must have lost your email, which I thought was odd, but maybe there was some misunderstanding about the privates. so i emailed saying hi if you thought I was so good in September why haven't you asked me.
My friend got a reply that my technique wasn't good enough.
So I mailed and said I know that the private didn't go all that well, and I believe there may be some personal misunderstanding between us, but in September you thought I was good.
The reply I got was that the nice emails were a case of mistaken identity. That when I turned up for the private, she realised her mistake, but didn't want to hurt my feelings.
"until I change my mindset to improve myself technically I will not progress to performance stage"
I practice an hour almost every day, so I read this as blaming me for being deluded enough for believing her. (I did not think that she meant performing right away, I wasn't that deluded, and that would be my ultimate aim).
I alternate between being furious and being terminally embaressed that I told other people what she said.
So where am I now!
