I'm a high school senior applying to music schools and I was wondering who the professor of clarinet at the U. of Chicago is. I went on their website but couldn't find anything on who the professor is.

Are you sure there is one? Looking through there site, they only appear to offer this in music:
"The Bachelor of Arts program in Music provides a background both for graduate work in music and for study in other fields. Students in other programs of study may also complete a minor in music. The department also sponsors a number of performance organizations and concert series."
Which really says nothing about performance or anything. I found one guy who happens to play the clarinet but who is, like everyone else, just a Music Professor in general. They all seem to be just Professors of Music, most of whom play the piano or compose. I looked up "university of chicago"+"Professor"+"clarinet" on yahoo! and google and found nothing.
I could just be looking at this wrong, though.

UoC is not a performance school. Good place to be on the bleeding edge of composition, but you'll have to go north to find good clarinet teachers.

the University of Chicago is not really the place for a person to go to pursue a bachelor music or a bachelor of music education. This department is a good place however, for a graduate student to study composition, music theory, musicology, music history, etc. in preparation for a career as a professor at the university level. That being said, I have never heard a note of music composed by a University of Chicago composition faculty member that I found listenable.
In the Chicago area, there is a wealth of music programs with the excellent clarinet instructors, notably at Northwestern University, Depaul University and Roosevelt University. Northern Illinois University at DeKalb has a decent undergraduate program, and downstate in Champaign Urbana, of course, the University of Illinois has an excellent music school. The Chicago area has many performance opportunities (among than the Chicago Civic Orchestra) many excellent freelance teachers who are on the adjunct faculty of some of the smaller schools in the Chicago area , and Chicago is a really great place to be.
Back when I was at Northwestern in the mid-1970s, Chicago became one of the epicenters of the clarinet world, with Robert Marcellus, Clark Broudy, Jerry Stowell, Larry Combs, Fred Ormand, and Rusty Dagon all active as performers and teachers during this time. It was pretty wild!

"and Chicago is a really great place to be.." Surely there are lots of people who will agree.....and disagree.

Hello,
If you do consider Northwestern, I can vouch for the new clarinet teacher, Steve Cohen. He was my teacher at LSU, where I got my masters degree.
