I have to travel about 15 miles, but the public transport is ok most of the time. The lessons were very local until the teacher moved, but I felt they were worth hanging on to so I don't mind the extra traveling time and money. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I thought I was the only one that was insane:
I do a 2 hour drive each way for my drum lessons (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) But it's only every other week so not too bad.
Fortunately my combined piano/violin lesson is only a 5 minute drive from me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

For us it's not insanity - it's Hobson's choice. There just aren't any other piano teachers in our area that cater for the level OH needs.

My teacher lives only couple of miles away from me.

I initially thought about joining ELSSO but decided not to, due to the distance.

I salute all of you who travel for hours for a lesson.

Each way?

Viol: 20 miles
Cello: 15 miles
Sax: 23 miles

Joys of living in a rural area. I stopped having singing lessons when I moved here as it would be about 45 miles each way

I travel all the way to the bottom of the stairs to open the door for my teacher,

I dont think there was a particular reason to pick him. I can see myself changing teacher in the next two years ~ for knowledge purposes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Not my travelling time - but I do have a student who comes from Perth in Scotland (not Australia!!!) once a month for a lesson with me in Darkest Croydon. I think he gets a 5.30am bus to the airport...then plane, tube, train, bus...and arrives on my doorstep at 9.30am.

He gets LOTS of stickers.

But you DO get a cup of tea at the end of it...perhaps there should be biscuits too...*ponders*...
