I stopped taking violin lessons a few months ago since I simply didn't have the time to go to the violin school anymore. Since then, I had to practice by my own. I recently decided to take lessons again since my schedule is now freer than before and I found a new violin school much nearer to my home.

During my first lesson, I got so nervous that I started shaking even before getting to the school and meeting my teacher. When we finally met, he asked me to play anything. I was shaking so much and was so tensed that I feel that I wasn't able to show him my true form when playing. Nevertheless, I let my teacher give an assessment and do corrections on my form.

I'm not happy with some of the corrections he made since I already feel very comfortable and can do shifts and wide vibratos with it when I'm not nervous. I didn't say a word about it since I feel that he might really be onto something, after all, he's the professional and I am not.

Is it, however, really worth to change my form so much? I feel that if I was only able to show him my playing without being so tensed that he wouldn't think I needed the change and we can focus on drills and exercises. He told me that I'm just getting used to the new form and after 5 more lessons, I'll feel better and even thank him. For my first assignment too, he explicitly asked me not to practice until the next week, probably to help me forget everything I know and open up my mind. He said that if I can't do this, I can find a new teacher but if I follow him and give him a chance, he'll do his best to make me improve.

To be honest, I like this new teacher of mine and feel that I really should listen to him and give him a chance (well I should). It just bothers me so much that I have to redo the form I worked so hard on. What do you think I should do/think about so I can be more open to this change?
