I was talking to my teacher the other about college stuff and i was givin a piece of paper with a list of schools he says are considered the best. They were actually not what i was expecting to see... They were... Donald Montanero, Curtis Institute , Yahouda Gilodt (sp), USC, and Fred Ormand, University of michigan. Has anyone gone to any of these schools and worked with any of these teachers? I would really like to get feed back.

I can't really answer your question, but I do, however, have a list of the best Clarinet Undergraduate programs in the U.S. according to "The Performing Art Major's College Guide" by Carole J. Everett, who is the former director of admissions at Juilliard. They are.......
Cleveland Institute of Music
DePaul University
Eastman School of Music
Indiana University, Bloomington
Manhattan School of Music
Michigan State, East Lansing
North Carolina School of the Arts
Northwestern
Oberlin Conservatory
U of Michigan, Ann Arbor
U of Southern California
Yale
Well the University of Michigan is on there as your teacher said.....

Curtis Institute is well worth investigating. Gigliotti taught there until his recent death. Donald Montanero is also excellent. The students are from all over the world, and I do believe that they attend mostly on scholarships. You must like and admire the teacher you choose, most of all. If you are accepted into what you feel is the best music school in the world, but you do not like you teacher, then it is a wrong choice for you.

Also consider CSU Fullerton. Hakan Rosengren teaches there. Affordable, many performing opportunities, and a solid education. Worth looking into.

I believe The Curtis Institute of Music is fully-scholarshiped, that is, once accepted, there is no tuition. You do, however, have to find someplace to live! And that costs money, especially in Philly Are you going to be a senior next year? Just curious. Good luck nontheless.

Hi James:
No one has mentioned Juilliard, my Alma Mater.
You could consider coming to NYC, enrolling at Juilliard, then studing with any number of great teacher/players here in the city.
The contacts and networking you can do here in NYC are vast, and will help your career for the future.
All the other schools are fine, and I've lectured at a few of them.
In NYC you can hear and see every fine group and player in the world, it is really a musical mecca.
Good luck,
JJM

A friend of mine is considering studying with Professor Yuji Murai at the Tokyo Geidai (Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music) in a masters or performance certificate situation. I know next to nothing about Professor Murai - can any of our BBoarders comment?

I have to put a bit of french national pride here.
If you can get in the "Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris" you'll enter one of the most prestigious school in the world. Especially in clarinet, Michel Arrignon an amazing player has dedicated his career to teaching and "produced" amazing young players such as Nicolas Baldeyrou and Romain Guyot (I think...) and many others...

Anyone should definately consider North Carolina School of the Arts.
They have just hired a terrific new clarinet professor, Daniel McKelway, assistant principal and Eb clarinettist of the Cleveland Orchestra.
Although not as cheap as Curtis, $1,600 tuition a year is not bad if you are an in state resident.

I suggest Juilliard. Mr. Moss's remarks are quite correct. If one is to advance, one must practice all the time. Being in NYC, one can find all kinds of great teachers, players and boundless elements of inspiration. Juilliard presents many great programs every year, and if you're there, you have a chance to work with some very great faculty, conductors and students. If you are versatile and gifted as an E-flat "piccolo" clarinetist, you may even have more opportunities. Think about it. New York is the mecca. There are many great colleges and music departments, but they're not in NYC. Many of your best faculty studied there. Read Mr. Moss's reply one more time.

Just another quick note on good schools; check out where Jorg went to school...
Paul Hindemith Prize Goes to Clarinetist-Composer Jörg Widmann
klassik.com/ andante - 14 August 2002
Clarinetist and composer Jörg Widmann will be awarded the Paul Hindemith Prize at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival in Germany, klassik.com reports.
The prize, which will be presented tomorrow, includes an award of 20,000 euros, making it one of the largest contemporary music prizes in Germany, klassic.com says.
Widmann, born in 1973, studied clarinet in Munich and at Juilliard in New York and has won a number of awards, among them the Bavarian State Culture Prize in 1996. He has composed music for both small ensembles and full orchestra.

I agree with John Moseson NYC and Julliard. Often, success as a professional musicain is as much as result of location as information. Sometimes, it is more important "who you know" than "what you know"--but being in NYC, where "the action is" and at Julliard, gives you the "best of both worlds."
My vote would be for New York City and its multiple cultural resources and teacher/players.
