ksenia, I side with Allmusic, and I would definitely question your current teacher. He may be an “old school guy”, but you are preparing for auditions and you need a teacher who can help you on all fronts. The fact that the gentleman says that he " does not work with contemporary music" strikes me as odd- is he not familiar at all with modern repertoire? If that is the case, and you are serious about advancing, you may want to look to other instructors. If you enjoy working with him then could you ask him for a referral to a colleague who could supplement his teaching and take you through the repertoire he is not comfortable with?
