Hello!
I am currently an undergrad studying music and I am considering pursuing a master's degree in clarinet performance. I have NO CLUE where I want to go and would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks!

Look into the University of Iowa... apparently they have an outstanding graduate program.. their undergrad program is really good too, thats where i'm going next year

ps - by ISU, i hope you mean Illinois State or Indiana state or some other "I" state (OK, i guess there arent any other "I" states....), to me ISU means Iowa State. They dont have a graduate music program at all I dont think, and their clarinet professor is named Messenger....

Idaho State University. Angela's email shows University of Idaho, and Alan Stanek is a prof. there' He may be able to assist Angela personally in selecting a grad program in some location, since Alan's a well-known pedagogue and player.

If you are willing to continue your carreer in performing clarinet, I would recommend to you going to famous conservatories such as :
Royal Academy / Royal College, London U.K.
Conservatoire national de Paris, France
HochScule für Musik, Berlin, Germany
Conservatoire de Genève, Switzerland
Julliard school of music, New York, U.S.
Krakow music academy, Poland
Roterdam conservatory, Holland
Of course, for getting in you will have a VERY TOUGH COMPETITION.. but it's worth going there. If you do audition and fail, I recommend to you changing carreer. There's unfortunatly only space for the best in this milieu.
Good luck, and practice hard !

If you are serious about performing, you should find a school or schools where at least some graduates are winning jobs in orchestras or winning solo competitions. The teacher should have a proven track record and it is preferable if he/she is an accomplished performer. Basically, graduate school in performance is your last chance to get your act together for the real world of professional music. That world is harsh and demanding. The school you choose should be able to show you that its graduates are making a living playing the clarinet. Otherwise, a performance degree is a pretty useless piece of paper.
