RE: Who are the best teachers in the country...

I was expecting to see responses to this question focusing on everybody naming their teacher as the greatest and was pleasantly surprised by the very impressive previous two responses. Having recently made the transition from graduate student to college professor I know the job market is brutal. The result is almost any school who has recently hired a new clarinet professor is generally going to get an outstanding person.

I think what is becoming increasingly important is to look at other factors and assume that the teacher will be good, such as what type of school are you interested: music ed, orchestral playing, band programs, chamber music, solo emphasis, playing opportunities in the geographic area, connections that the teacher may have, and a host of other things. Of course, do your homework on the teacher as well. Anyway, just another idea in addition to the previous excellent posts.
