>> 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 went to a specific school for various reasons.

I don't have any regrets going there. I'm very happy I went there. It wasn't perfect but no school would be. Going there was one of the best decisions I've ever had. I got a lot of things I wanted from it. Even more important, it really helped me in the direction I decided to go, eventhough I wasn't completely sure about it at first. Actually I got a lot of great things from it that I didn't even realize I would get. I thought this could happen, just intuition but nothing specific I knew. That's possibly the most special thing I had there.

I can think of a few clarinet graduates from this school who are now professional musicians. Some play professionally, either in groups or even solos. Some have their own groups. Some play and teach. Some mostly teach. Plus many other things. However from all I can think of that any of them is doing, I can think of almost nothing that I want to do. Just almost, because I have played with some of them, for example, when it was a type of things I was interested in. But mostly they do things I'm not interestd in doing, eventhough I will go to their concerts and will want to listen to them, or I am likely to recommend some of them as teachers, etc. If I judged the school based on what the clarinet graduates I know are doing, I would think it would be a terrible choice school for me.
