Music Dilemma

I was just singing "The Phantom of the Opera" for kicks and I remembered that I need to fill out this form for Karen (my current voice teacher) so I can continue studying with her. This made me remember that I have a dilemma. I don't have a problem with Karen, I just feel that I need to be pushed a little more than she is doing. I would love to go to Scott over at Pacific because I liked him ever since he was my judge at Solo/Ensemble my 7th grade year. Some reasons for not going are 1) he's way over at Pacific and I don't really have time to drive way over there, 2) Karen is right here, and 3) I kind of like being lazy. With Karen, I've had the confidence to say, "I would like to sing this song sometime" and she'll usually let me do so. If I moved to Scott, I'd feel overwhelmed and definitely not as confident, so I most likely wouldn't be able to sing some of the songs I would like to sing. Also, with the no time to go over to Pacific, if I had Sil 5th period I know she would let me leave once a week to go sing. Unfortunately, drama is 4th period and I don't think that my 5th period teacher would be as understanding (though I don't know who that is yet). And I know I could always do the "I have a doctor's appointment" thing, but my parents wouldn't be too fond of that, since they don't like lying like that. Also, my family has a problem with being too loyal. I'd feel bad about leaving and my parents would too. However, my parents are fine with whatever decision I make. They would be happy with whatever. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do. Please let me know what you think.

    As for the time issue, I would stay with Karen, but if you really want to change, then change. Also, if you decide to stay with her, could you let me know what your 1st through 4th choice days would be so I can put the same? It's entirely up to you. I support you 100% just 'cuz I like you.

    Crystal, one of my biggest regrets is not taking music more seriously. You know how I feel and what I will say, but just know that, in my opinion, training with songs you sing (I mean to say, you can still sing the other songs, just maybe not train with them) and driving a little further are very minimal consequenses for having the opportunity to progress in leaps and bounds. Give yourself a chance, okay?

    Also, as a side note, you're comfortable with Karen because you know her. You can be comfortable with Scott or whomever you go to, it will just take some time. Much love.
