Perhaps "Some Other Time" from On the Town...which is a bit more poignant with the passing of Ms. Comden.

You Walk With Me from The Full Monty. It is surprisingly appropriate.

If you studied with the teacher, it might be nice to sing something you learned with him/her that has meaning for you. Alternatively, you might sing something that exemplifies why the teacher was so beloved. For example, if he/she was known for exposing students to new ideas, "Open a New Window" from Mame might be appropriate.

What about no one is alone from into the woods?
