When I was a student, jazz was a "no-no", as were ethnic styles.
It appeared that a BA in Clarinet Performance would put me in a practice room playing scales and Rose Studies for 4 years, so I got a degree in Mathematics instead, which kept me employed for 45. But things are much better now. Most colleges today have jazz studies programs, and specifically look for style diversity in their music faculty. It is wonderful that schools now realize playing in multiple styles makes for more rounded instructors.
