my piano teacher is moving away. I'm currently on grade 5 piano (trinity) but the new piano teacher I've found only teaches abrsm. she said she'll try to teach me trinity but she doesn't know what she's doing that well. or I can switch to abrsm and she'll just teach me that. or I could try to find a different piano teacher who won't make me switch but that's a bit of a hassle. any advice? the only downside I know of about switching to abrsm is that I'd have to do sight reading which is scary but ig it is what it is

I know deciding on which music board to go with can be a difficult decision. I did ABRSM until grade 4 and then switched to London college of music, because it meant I didn’t have to sing in my exam which I hated doing by myself. So I understand not wanting to do a particular board because of something in the exam. I guess by the new teacher only teaching one board I imagine she’s very knowledgeable on the board and there exams and will hopefully be able to help you with your sight reading. Have you tried sight reading before? How would you feel about maybe giving the ABRSM exam a try? Ultimately though remember it’s your decision to choose whichever exam you fee most comfortable with
