My professor will be Ian Greitzer. It is not the best school for
clarinetists. I got accepted to numerous other schools that would have
been better for my clarinet playing, but this was the school that I could
afford. I would have much rather gone to USC and studied with Yehuda
Gilad. He was my teacher for a while, but I only got $20,000 in
scholarships, so it was not something that I could have afforded.
Sometimes you just have to settle for less than the best.

P.S. Since I am not a perfect clarinet player yet, there is always
something that I can learn from someone. SO going to The Boston
Conservatory will not be a total loss:)
