Dear Alex and NBeaty,

Hmm; I would take this a bit more seriously. I could name numerous state universities (and clarinet virtuosos/mentors that) have significantly more diversity in regard to former students' successes; schools of far smaller size that have a serious list of former clarinet students working in the US, Europe and Asia in academia, bands and prominent symphony orchestras as well as in the public schools as director of bands. It matters and is actually a sign of what is truly going on at a school and its clarinet studio. I would much rather recommend students to go to those schools and teachers that have such level of performance in their studio teaching.

I recommend every clarinet applicant considering UNT (or any other school) to ask for a list of at least ten graduating students during the last ten years and what they are doing in the profession. It would not hurt and it is certainly an indication of the quality of the teaching that is going on in a certain studio. To omit to do this would be naive and actually rather dumb.

I believe this is particularly important in the US right now since many schools are ruthless when it comes to recruitment of talent, throwing money left and right, catering to the students by making them "feel good" and showing little or no consideration of what is actually best for the student. If I was a student today I would not put my trust in unsubstantiated attributes. Substance is of essence and results speak for themselves!
