Both Russianoff & Stubbins have been considered two of the finest teachers of clarinet by many measures. My former teacher had both these men as his teachers and I recall he told me also that Stubbins didn't play at his lessons - but until a previous post I didn't know if it was an isolated occurance. It still might be.

However, that being said, it appears to me that neither Russianoff or Stubbins were dogmatic in their approach to the methods of teaching, or at least never appeared so to their students, because my teacher played occasionally to demonstrate some technique, even to his advanced students.

It could be that in the case of Russianoff & Stubbins that self-selection was in play - the students that wanted to study with them were of the type that didn't need demonstration to succeed; indeed, students and teachers at advanced levels tend to be drawn towards the ones most able to help each other.

Good teachers do what is necessary to help their students discover things about themselves.
