88, I'm not sure how to express it differently. "Genuine ease and rapport" really captures it. We're all still on our best behavior during lessons, trying to stifle our anxieties. It's constraining to learning.

What an interesting post. As a complete (adult) beginner, I have always assumed the student-teacher relationship must be the same as it was back when I was a university student 40 years ago. Didn't think it was allowable to develop "genuine ease and rapport" with my teacher. You have opened my eyes. Maybe 2014 can be a great year if I approach my lessons with a new attitude.

Thanks, everyone.

I like that I'm more of less learning from someone I'm super comfortable with.

"Doesn't practicing on the piano suck?!?!"
"The joy is in the practicing. It's like relationships. Yeah, orgasms are awesome, but you can't make love to someone who you have no relationship with!"
