That's what I was referring to in my response to Soo's question. I went to
USC where I had the privilege of spending another year with Yehuda Gilad (I
spent 2 in High School working with him), and so far 1-1/2 with Mitchell
Lurie. I also took bass clarinet lessons with David Howard. I am in debt
up to my eyeballs, but the opportunity to study with so many great teachers
is totally worth it.
