You would be hard-pressed to find a better teacher than Robert Sorton. He did both his Bachelor's and Master's with John Mack, and played Assoc. Princ. oboe in the Detroit Symphony for more than a dozen years before accepting his position at Ohio State. I studied with Sorton for my Bachelor's, with lessons "on the side" with Mack, and can tell you that Sorton is every bit the source of knowledge and expertise that Mr. Mack was. Their approach to the oboe and musicality were nearly identical. Also, Sorton is an incredible reed maker and technician (with regard to both instrument repair/maintenance and gouger servicing). I haven't been part of the OSU scene for many years now, so I can't speak for the rest of the current faculty or for their ensembles. For me, in the early 90's, my OSU experience was very much on-par with any of the "top notch" conservatories at the time. Robert Sorton's studio is one of the best-kept secrets of the oboe world!
