So my flute teacher from this summer has went back to college. He's gone again till next summer when I'm sure I'll get more lessons. So now I need a new teacher. My band director has found me a teacher who is a music professor at a local university. I can take lessons at her house or the university once a week and my previous teacher was taught by her. I think good things will happen if I take from this professor. What do you guys think?
And does anyone know anything I should be practicing daily? I tried the Trevor Wye book and I absoulutely loathed it. (no offense to anyone)

...MUSIC HAS REPLACED HER HEARTBEAT...
Sounds good to me. Maybe take a lesson with the professor to see if you like it or not. If not, how about contacting your old teacher and asking for recommendations?
You don't like the Trevor Wye books!?!
How about the Wagner book or the Rubank series? I love the Trevor Wye books and hated these, so maybe you'll love these?

I hated the T. Wye books for a while too. I then dived into the Walfrid Kujala 'Vade Mecum.' Oh-My-Goodness.
So then I loved the T. Wye. I like the Kujala too, but it is so concentrated that it is extremely challenging. In the words of my piccolo teacher (who studied with Kujala), his Vade Mecum is a lifetime effort.
I'm thinking about investing in the really huge and expensive Taffanel and Gaubert Complete Method. My university professor has a copy that I flipped through one day, and I really liked it.
As for the teacher... go for it! Personality issues aside, they're probably the better musician. They actually got a job (which is next to impossible btw).
