There are a lot of things Mitchell Lurie knows how to do well... Picking a
clarinet is only a small part of it... (BTW his personal instruments are
pretty stellar as well). He is by far the best teacher I have ever had the
pleasure of working with. He's a sweet man, great teacher, and he has about
a million great stories to tell.
