One of the most helpful things Gigliotti would say to his students was "get
out of Philadelphia when you graduate, or you'll never play again."
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

--------------------------------

Meant that Phila. is a pretty dead town, and combined with a lot of
Clarinet players, theres almost no work to be had. He never said that to me
directly, but I have been told by several players that he says that to his
students.
Phila. is certainly no New York.
Now that I have had time to think on your original post, another area to
teach would be analyzing what other strengths that the students have (such
as a knack for Computer Programing - a job that many former performance
majors have, as the mind skills that are developed by music.).
