kleinbl00 makes some great points. If your friend's teacher is an imposing person musically, trust that person. The teacher has no reason to lie to you since she wants her student to have the best recital possible. NO REASON.

Is it possible that you are transferring impostery feelings onto your musical identity -- which is possibly the most authentic and stable of all your identities?

That aside, we all have doubts about our value, especially the value of a performance - whether that performance is playing an instrument or leading a workshop.
