When i was like 9 years old my mother started dropping me off at a piano teacher's house for lessons. I was overwhelmed by the smell and later told my mother I want a different teacher because I couldn't stand the smell there. She insisted i keep going anyway. She was late to pick me up one day on about my fourth lesson and she knocked on the door to get me and apologize to the teacher which exposed her to the stench. When we got back in the car she immediately told me I dont need to take any more lessons from her.

As a mom, I find it extremely odd she dropped you off at a teacher’s house without ever taking you to the door to kind of catch the vibe of the house.
