I was curious whether people generally stay with one teacher for a long time or bounce around learning bits and pieces from various folks. I also wonder whether this is different depending on how long someone has been playing.
I did 4-5 yrs with my teacher when I was a kid in Jr HS/ HS. Then about 1 1/2 yrs ago I decided to learn all over again, bought a tenor, tracked him down and have been taking lessons again since then.
I had a teacher for 2 years at one time. At the last lesson he said "You're cured. Now go play." I did not believe him and went on to study at college.
I have been studying two years with my current teacher. I had one for 3 months, and then had one for 3 years. had another one for 6 months. I tend to stick with them for awhile.
