 I am in the middle of applying for the Fulbright and Rotary Scholarships this summer.  The Rotary Scholarship requires that I choose five schools abroad to apply to, and no more than two of those schools can be in one country.  I am mainly looking for teachers in German speaking countries.  Does anyone have a recommendations of good teachers in Germany, Austria or Switzerland?
 Thanks!
 
 Shannon

 Dear Shannon:
 
 I know of an excellent and well-known clarinetist in Koln, Germany: David Smeyers.  His email address is:
 beatedave@aol.com
 
 He and his wife , Beate, are "Das Klarinetten Duo".  They've made many CD's and David has about ten CD's to his credit and has done concertizing throughout Germany and France.  I think his teachers include myself, Mohler, DePeyer, Lancelot and probably a few others.  While he has made a name for himself as a performer of avant-garde clarinet literature, he's also won prizes in the "traditional".  Hope this helps.  Sincerely, Earl
