Andrew, our main reason for study in the USA is because my husband wishes to focus on wind band conducting and doesn't have much interest in orchestral conducting, and many places in the US offer wind conducting as a specialty. Me, I don't care, I just want to play the oboe!
I am in the process of trying to talk him around studying in the UK as I can hold dual passports as my parents were both born in the UK, I am first generation Australian. But the wind band tradition is not quite as strong as the one he sees in the US.
We have an amazing conductor here in Perth who has managed to do exactly what he's plannning to do, so even though it wouldn't be a Master's degree (only by research here, not coursework) he would like to do further study with him.
