"...focus on what you hope to accomplish in your new environment."
I'm hoping to perhaps feed into the many smaller orchestras over in the UK...perhaps a small opera company, ballet company. I've heard in Europe, there is more of an mentor/apprentice way of doing things in the musical realm and getting jobs. Do you know how much of that is true? Of course, there are auditions for the major orchestras, but I've heard that depending on who you study with, your chances of obtaining an orchestra gig can be far more likely. Any truth to that?

But yes, my wanting to go to the UK and abroad to study is definately for the environment. Thanks again for your help!

I'll give Dr. Sievers a 'hello' for you!

All the best,
Mikki
