The question for me would be, is the teacher playing in a way you want to absorb and emulate? If so, stick around and learn and keep listening. If not, find a teacher whose playing you admire. Learning to read the dots is a good skill to have in any case.

And if you immerse yourself in those techniques only, it can be very difficult to break away from them. Think of the way people who learn a new language later in life h...

the only time the voters might hear the candidate's names are in those signs. So there might be some amount of (at least subconscious) bump at the polls...
