I read the recent thread about this topic, but most of the responses seemed to be geared toward a career in performance. What do you recommend for someone considering a career in clarinet teaching at a university? I am currently considering Arizona State, North Texas and Florida State.

Do some research and try to find out what schools are placing their graduate students in university jobs. I think you'll find that the three you mention are at least pretty good in that respect. Definately add Michigan State to that list. Elsa's placement of students in teaching jobs is remarkable.

"I am currently considering Arizona State, North Texas and Florida State."
If you're considering Florida, try The Univ. of Florida at Gainesville. Mitchell Estrin teaches clarinet there, he has an excellent program, and great success with his students.
He played with the NY Philharmonic for years and really knows the literature, and the teaching scene.
Give him a call @ 352-392-0223
or email @ mestrin@ufl.edu
Good luck,
JJM

Bil Jackson is at the University of Northern Colorado. I'm studying with him at the moment and he is great. He has many former students teaching at universities around the country, a few being the University of Wyoming and the University of Arkansas.

While I'm in Undergrad right now, I highly suggest Bob Spring at Arizona, and my current teacher Dr. McClellan at University of Georgia. Both are excellent teachers for orchestral and solo careers, and both have excellent teaching styles in my opinion. Dr. McClellan has all three degrees from Julliard and he's really good about doing things that you want to work on, and working on what you need to work on and etc... he's very individualistic and paces you well. I saw Bob Spring teach at a couple of master classes and he's also amazing, you'd prolly have to be a bit more open minded, he uses vibrato liberally, etc:) But learning from him is amazing, he's very open minded and he likes to create music, not just technicality:) HOPE I HELPED!
