Ted Oien studied with Richad Waller and Robert Marcellus. He has been principal clarinet of the Detroit Symphony for over 15 years. I think he is one of the finest orchestral clarinetists around today; he has a very rich dark sound and phrases beautifully. Great player!

My son studied with him some years back (I was able to sit in & listen) and I've heard him perform with the DSO.

Ted Oien is as good as there is. I've heard him play at several ClarinetFests, and each time, it's been the highlight of the week. Gorgeous tone, perfect technique, jump-off-the-stage-and-into-your-lap musical projection. I taped a Mozart Concerto by him off the radio several years ago, which was terrific.
Best regards.

He teaches at Wyane State University in Detroit. I will be studying with him next year.
One of the things I've heard about him is that he very rarely plays at lessons.

In my limited experience that is true.
I believe he'd be a wonderful teacher for an advanced student.

I believe he's a (more or less) permanent member.

Bil Jackson is of course the "permanent" member of the aspen Music Festival. I'm not sure about oien, but then again I haven't looked into the festival there for a while. So Ted could have joined the festival while I wasn't looking. To have both Ted and Bil there would be a great thing.

I studied with Ted this past year and can I say that the man knows what he's about. He's very demanding as a teacher and I've learned that is is a very bad thing when he walks out of the room while you're playing during a lesson. He's an awesome teacher. I switched teachers this year and am now going into my freshman year majoring in clarinet performance. I would definitely not be going had I not studied with Ted. If you get the chance to study with him, go for it. You won't regret it, even if it's only for one lesson. As a performer, he's great. I have never heard him play a note that I did not like. His level of musicality is so up there, for lack of a better phrase. And yes, he does attend the Aspen Festival and I do believe that he planned on going this year.

Yes, I was his student in Winnipeg, circa 1975/1976, when I was 11 years old. He bullied me, and I had to quit. This didn't stop me, however, as I ended up playing in the Winnipeg Youth Symphony. So many years have passed, and it's only by sheer fluke that I saw this thread. I can only assume that he has mellowed with age, and it just struck me that I am now older than he was during those lessons. Anyway, time to move on.

I recall meeting him ("Ted") in 1977 or '78 during my first year teaching Band in the town of The Pas in Northern Manitoba, Canada age 23). He and others (I think) were clinicians for our students for the day. At the time he was Principal Clarinet with the Winnipeg Symphony--before moving on to Detroit. All I really recall was him in the Band Room spinning in circles for the students while playing the Clarinet Polka at a terrific speed. Years later I played that quite often in with a "teachers" jazz/pop band. Always recalled where I first heard it.

That must be an old list. Dennis Smylie died several years ago. I knew him when I used to live in NYC. One of the world's great Bass Clarinet players.
