We want to schedule a sample lesson for my daughter at Jacobs school of music. First of all is it too early? She is a junior, we are visiting in November and don't plan on going back unless she wants to audition there. Second there are 3 clarinet professors (Howard Klug, Eli Eban, & James Campbell). How do we decide which studio she would be interested in? Has anyone had experience with any of them? HELP

<p>For a trial lesson, it's not too early. But you may wish to start making contact now, as scheduling can often be the main issue. </p>
<p>I can't help with the specific teacher issue, but if she knows the style/technique of anyone that she likes or would wish to emulate, that's a starting point.</p>
<p>Try and talk to students from each studio while there, or bettter yet contact the department now... they may be able to provide a couple of students from each that you could email prior to a visit.</p>
<p>One or more of the faculty could be grad only.

<p>You could also do a title search on clarinet, and see what others have said.</p>
<p>Hope it helps. </p>
<p>(Please email or pm a mod at the page bottom, and have them change this thread's title to more specifically address you question. I did it this way to get your attention.)</p>
