Do you think my teacher will react negatively (offended/betrayed/disrespected/lied to/appalled) if I audition for an orchestra with a piece she didn't teach me yet? Here's the situation:There are auditions on the 1st week of september for a philharmonic i would like to be admitted into. However, my private teacher doesn't do summer lessons so she didn't prepare me with anything. I'm afraid if i tell her about my plans she'll reject the idea seeing as how the day we get private lessons again is the day of the auditions (or at least a few days or a week before the auditions). What I'm even more afraid of is her telling me I'm not ready. The piece i'm using is a concertino she gave me months ago but we didn't really go over it. I've improved over the summer after attending violin camp and I feel I am ready to go to the auditions even without her guidance (although I'm pretty sure my chances are a lot higher with her help). Here's the problem, the philharmonic im auditioning for has different groups. The previous year I was the intermediate group and now i'm auditioning for the senior/advanced group. My teacher is a coach for the intermediate group and so it's inevitable that she will find out I auditioned without her permission. Do you think she'll react negatively if I got in the senior group without her help? Would she take it as a disrespectful sign that I don't trust in her? (because i really do! she's the best teacher ever!). I'm pretty sure if i tell her now she'll just reject me and i don't want that. Should i take my chances anyways? I don't want to hurt her feelings :(
