Anybody really can't stand their music teacher?#1

Mine is awful! She plays favorites like it's going out of style. Today, she decided we were going to figure out our ranges in front of the whole class. She calls up this girl,(who can't sing a note, yet played Sandy in our school production of "Grease,") and got her up to a B. This was extremely painful to everyone in the class, yet the teacher, who ADORES the girl, was crying "yes! YES!" in apparent ecstasy. Then, she calls me up, and proceeds to insult everything about the way I was singing, though I know, as did everybody else, that I was singing much better than the other girl. I'm so upset right now. I had an awful breakdown right there, and I just feel pretty crappy. Anybody else have any Stupid Music Teacher stories to share?

My high school choir teacher played favorites too. And I'm pretty sure she was/is addicted to painkillers.

I'm with you. I take a Music Theory class, and I've been giving my teacher a few CDs of original music, and he's "forgotten" to listen to them. I think that if a student trusts the teacher's word enough to give personal material, they should have an obligation to at least listen to it... even if they don't have anything to say about it. I'm not even that personal with him, so it took some guts to even give it to him.

LOL I found your post very funny. "This was extremely painful to everyone in the class, yet the teacher, who ADORES the girl, was crying "yes! YES!" in apparent ecstasy." hahaha. I definitely understand though. I have been in similar situations, so I feel your pain. As for me, I can't stand my current voice teacher, and I'm in the process of finding another one. She has some very successful students, and others seem to love her. However, all she does with me is sit there and listen, barely giving me any critiques, and tells me how wonderful I am. Frankly, I know I'm really not that great. I'm ok, but let's just say that my strong point is definitely dance, not voice. As a result, I feel that she is just trying to milk me for every penny I'm worth. *OK sorry- rant finished*

Ranting is good! I'm still totally ticked at my teacher. I had music theory with her the other morning, and I did my best silent treatment...which is hard, considering she's my teacher.

I know, I'm exteremly immature...but really! It just makes me so mad.
