Good luck finding a teacher you want to work with, don't settle for something that doesn't feel right because you've been chased. Sometimes a student teacher relationship just doesn't work.

Only you can decide if its really a 'no go' but is one lesson sufficient to make a fair judgement ?

I had the same thing with a piano teacher last year. I only had 2 lessons with him and then decided to quit which he was not very happy about. I knew that I would just not get on with his methods, even though he probably makes quite good pianists. I get on with him fine now, even though at the time things were rather difficult. Hope you find a good teacher soon.

All sounding a bit freaky and scary - definitely block her number. Good luck with future lessons - with a nice teacher!

From a teacher's perspective, I always do a trial lesson and I certainly wouldn't be chasing anyone who didn't want to come back! That's the whole point of the initial lesson and if we weren't a good fit then I'd rather they went elsewhere and were happy. It is right that a single lesson isn't sufficient to assess someone's whole teaching method, but sounds to me equally like a personality thing. I certainly wouldn't want to return to a teacher who was scary or to put myself through that every week.

When I found my piano teacher that I have now, we had an instant rapprt and that is how it should be.
