I'm researching graduate programs in performance and was looking for some suggestions of professors you might know/like and the schools they teach at. I also wouldn't mind if any of you know some piccolo enthusiasts... I'd love to study with someone that loves picc as much as me. =]

We have to learn scales as well as a few pieces from the Rubank Elementary Method book. I never bought a copy, and I'm pretty sure the rest of the class never picked one up either (it's a small class). Does anybody ( Read more... )
