I almost called yesterday to quit my lessons. I hate having confrontations. I go through these thoughts like: what if the owner asks me why? Was there something wrong with the teacher? Are you nuts? Maybe if I just text them.

If the owner asks why, just tell him you want to take a break. You already asked him if he has any openings, so he's probably going to know what the deal is. I honestly don't think it's going to be the confrontational situation that you think it will be. When my daughter decided she didn't want to do piano lessons any more, we had her write a letter because we thought it should come from her. A text is probably not a good idea...though perhaps it isn't too much different from a letter these days.

Even if you go into all of the gory details with the owner, I don't think it will be a problem. I'm sure this type of thing happens all of the time.
