What a fabulous thesis! Good work - Margaret Dees! It must have been amazing to have met and talked to all of these teachers.
Thanks Mark for the link!

Haha! very interesting... Having the oppurtunity to move around I have also experienced massive differences in teaching style.. eastern european vs west europe vs US vs Russian all so very different.
Great thesis!

Mark,
Thanks for letting us know about this thesis. I've printed it and have read the first 30 pages. Excellent.
I can see its instructional value not only for teachers, but for all serious amateurs. It's like having a set of master classes all in one place.

Reading Elsa Verdehr's interview made me so jealous. Her experiences with Hasty and at Marlboro sound just so amazing...

She & her husband are delightful people to boot ... I've spent quite a few hours waiting at the airport with them (meeting by chance, but we fly through the same airport for Clarinetfests).

Thank you for this link! It's not only a fascinating look at great teaching, but also a wealth of interesting ideas.

Thanks for the link. Deborah Chadacki's story about attending clarinet lessons for a year before she even had a clarinet was very moving.
One thing struck me as odd, though. In almost every lesson described, even those involving grad students and performance majors, there were always discussions about basic embouchure setup, even reed placement, and on a level I would have expected only during the early lessons with any particular teacher. Any comments?

Mark, thanks.
It seems that this would be very interesting reading for many people. Have you considered advertising it in some fashion so that more would see it? Do you think it might make good reference material here?

I'll probably add a link to it to the www.woodwind.org site.
I was actually searching for something completely different when I found that ... thank you, Google ...

Absolutely fascinating thesis on these teachers and their styles. I have read up to Fred Ormand, and looking forward to reading the rest in the next few days. What has strucj as interesting, being in my first year undergraduate study is that in the lessons these professors talk about the same things to their graduate students that I am being told. It is also interesting to hear their histories on the instrument, and how even two vastly different teaching philosophies sound reasonable.
Great find,
Austin

Was the doctorate awarded?

Well, Peggy, congratulations ... I too have read some (but not all) of your thesis and it's a masterly assessment of modern and diverse teaching methods. Well done!
