Steve, The teacher is a very important part of this process but the quality
of the other musicians in a teachers studio, the quality of the orchestra
and the quality of "skills training" are all factors. The string players at
Juilliard are truly special so the quality of the orchestras is high and
thus the rep choices vast. Just like business school those friendships and
networking chances you have in undergrad school are priceless as you
progress in a performing career.
I am not saying this person made the wrong choice for them, I am saying that
there are a lot of additional factors to look at when you talk about schools
and specifically the NYC schools.
