I'm a MM student majoring in piano in a prestigious conservatory. I applied several schools for DMA including my current school. My current teacher is a great performer but he doesn't seem to care about his students too much. He often cuts lesson time and his studio only has several students left. I really want to switch to the other professor's studio. That professor's studio is very hard to get in and he is friendly with my current teacher. Our school's DMA program is very competitive and I'm thinking about meeting the professor I want to study with before auditioning (however, if he thinks i'm not good enough he will still reject taking me in his studio)
I'm friendly with my current teacher and since he has so few students, I'm afraid it will hurt him if I tell him I want to study with the other professor. Anybody has experience with dealing this kind of situation? should I talk to the professor I want to study with before talking to my current teacher?
