I will not be returning to Santa Clara University. I doubt anyone reading this was planning on attending the school (the music department is quite small), but if you were, please know I won’t be there. At this point I don’t know who they will hire. They will be posting the opening soon, along with all the other part time positions at the school (their new policy is to advertise all part time positions every year, and all current instructors will have to reapply).
I will miss the one oboist there who will study with me. (I’m so sorry, Caroline.) But it was time to say goodbye.
