teacher lineage

I was wondering if anyone knew of a "family tree" that traces the the lineage or pedigree of some of the great players and teachers. Another student at school talked about seeing a chart or something that listed famous clarinetists and their teachers and their teachers teachers. He actually described it as a "family tree" with nothing but lines connecting teachers and students. I have not been able to find anything like this anywhere and was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this or knows where it can be found.

Thanks

You could probably track quite a lot of it through Pamela Weston's various books (Clarinet Virtuosi of the past and especially More Clarinet Virtuosi of the past), although not in diagramatic format if that is what you are looking for. However, once you knew the details, why not design your own?

It might be this chart you're referring to:

which I believe is probably this product (although I'd check to be sure--I haven't seen it, myself):

If you find this kind of stuff amusing, you can learn a lot from reading old threads here on the BBoard, like this one I dug up on "grand-teachers." It's a small clarinet world, after all:

For years here in Boston, whenever one met another classical woodwind player -- or even when one appealed to the venerable repair technician at Rayburn's music -- one of the first questions was always, "Who was your teacher?" And I promise you that people were judged according to that. I was relieved to be able to present respectable credentials, not least when I found out my teacher was popular with the repair technician.
