For the benefit of Lynn Thomas:

>Hello to all after my long absence from the KLARINET list.
>Somehow I became unsubscribed. I'm guessing that, during my absence,
>discussion after discussion focused upon the standard time-worn fare...
>reeds, mouthpieces, ligatures, favorite artists, style analysis, and
>so on. All important topics, to be sure...but let's move on to new ground.
>
>I offer the following proposition, and invite your remarks:
>>
> The applied music degree represents a disservice to the
> average degree candidate and should be eliminated from the
> curricula of universities and colleges, and reserved for award
> only in our larger conservatories.
>
>I'll offer my opinions in a later post.

>Best regards,
