Comments and questions:

Mr. Hawley marks his seperation from performing as a principal clarinet in a major orchestra (i.e. the CSO) here:

Although I completely agree that the times demand [clarinet] performance majors to keep an open mind to positions other than as full time players in [financially solvent] symphonies (who also teach,) I'm a little confused how Mr. Hawley may personify that, if at all.

While not playing with such a symphony until career retirement may set him apart, (e.g. Drucker) Mr. Hawley's earlier performance centered career opened him up (rightfully so) for name recognition that paved the way for his placement at teaching positions (Rice, Music Academy of the West) that likely wouldn't be open to music major graduates soon after diplomas were issued, right?

Maybe I'm missing a point.
