John Davies, one of the most eminent clarinet teachers of the Twentieth century passed away last Sunday.

Long-term professor and former Head of Woodwind at the Royal Academy of Music, London.

There are a few of his former pupils posting on these boards, and it would be very rare to find a British orchestra in the last half-century which didn't have at least one of his pupils in their clarinet section.

I had the great privilege of studying with John (and Tony Pay) at the RAM in the 1980's.

RIP John, you touched many lives greatly.
