The great thing about being a musican is that we are self motivated. Fire your instructor, buy a bunch of books and learn yourself. But if you like having an instructor then find a new one. My Sax instructor doesn`t like Jazz. But I love it and do it behind his back.

yeah i get what you(ric) meen about doing things behind your teachers back -sight- my one wantes me to do 2 to 3 pieces at a time and easy-middle size pieces
the thing is i would have stoped years ago (course that isn`t true coz i haven`t play for sutch a long time...)but instead i do 10 6-7 pieces at a time and play middle-difficult pieces so that`s what you(jen) should do to keep on playing the piano:do what you want, remember you know better than the teacher how you feel about the piano
