Chris--

I am glad to note that you had an excellent experience at your camp. However, I
am saddened by your comments about the clarinet professor. You are only
high-school age (if my memory serves me correctly), and to be so closed-minded
about teaching styles will not bid you well in the future. Whether or not one
teacher's style "conflicts" with your current teachers style should not really
matter for two reasons: First, not all teachers approach pedogogy the same way
and there will be differences, and second, as a musician, you can learn something
from everyone. As talented as you say you are, I would hope that you would just
remember to keep an open mind.
