I can't speak for others, I know most teachers probably don't do this, but in my studio class we listen to jazz clarinet players, klezmer players, I don't play either, and I speak of other opportunities in performance careers as well as teaching and all the other things I've mentioned above because the bottom line in this. In America there is approximately one symphony job opened for every hundred, or perhaps more, players wishing to have that job. That's the bottom line; there just aren't nearly enough jobs to go around even for the very best qualified. If a student isn't in the very top of their class how do they expect to compete for the few orchestra jobs against all the others that are on top of their game. We just have to be honest with them and let them know of other opportunities there are to make a living from what they love to do. I don't think that's too much to ask of a university or conservatory teacher. Be honest and encouraging. That was the Russianoff way, that’s the right way. ESP http://eddiesclarinet.com
