The thread on clarinet ancestry was very interesting to read, but I am dismayed to see such an under-representation of women mentioned. All those responses and only one reference to Thea King.
Ms King aside, are we really only now seeing the first generation of women at the elite level of clarinet performance, with Sabine Meyer, Emma Johnson, Victoria Soames, etc? How about talented women teachers who are not professional performers?
Come to think of it, all the pro clarinettistes that come to mind are European, and I presume the board here is dominated by Americans. Are there women on the faculty in American schools? I was lucky to spend a year studying with Patricia Kostek at the University of Victoria in Canada. Surely there must be other women out there teaching clarinet.
If not, why not?!
