Re: grad schools for performance...

If you are practicing 4 hours a day, why would one spend 30 minutes working a reed?

I have heard that southern illinois is good. Eric Mandat is said to be a genius, and yes USC is great, new your is great, boston is great. Someone once said that you go for your undergrade based on the school, and select you graduate school based on the teacher.

I would follow the teacher regardless of where it is. With planes, trains and buses, no city is that far away. If you are in your early 20s figure that you will have lots of time after grad school to find a paying gig. Unless you are one of the gifted/lucky few, you will spend a long time honing your craft.

Peace, love and understanding
