Not sure if anyone has any ideas about this. I already run a successful music teaching practice. I have been to music college (Colchester), and been awarded a BA Hons Music, and have got an ALCM (Piano), LTCL (Clarinet), and FLCM (Thesis), together with a PGCE. I'd really like to move on to a new level with my own playing and teaching now - but am struggling for ideas as to what to do next. I don't particularly want to do yet more academic study (either an MMus, PhD, or another diploma) - but feel that I need something to aim for in terms of my own playing.
Combined with this I have a strong interest in spirituality (being ordained into the Anglican church in July), and would like to do something around music and spirituality as part of my ministry.
Has anyone got any ideas? I'm not sure that I'm looking for a traditional CTABRSM route, but something a little more offbeat might work, combined with lessons. Names of good clarinet teachers (I previously studied with Angela Fussell, and am looking at someone who is Royal College/Academy level) would also be helpful.

Congratulations on your forthcoming ordination and prayers for same.

I note what you say about not wanting further academic study but have you considered doing one of the distance-learning diplomas from the Royal School of Church Music or the Guild of Church Musicians. There are performance options in some of these and they would combine your music and theology. That said, they might not do much per se for your actual teaching. Maybe one of the ABRSM short-courses for teachers would help there initially?

Good luck whatever and many blessings for your ministry.

BTW, you may find that just being ordained and trying, I presume, to combine your new ministry and a professional teaching practice is more than enough right now, without trying to aim for even more qualifications at this time of change for you. I am guessing (from my perspective as someone who combines a heavy involvement in church affairs and a busy teaching schedule myself) that your congregation will expect a lot from you once you're ordained and you may find time to study is harder to come by? Just a thought.

Best wishes

If you want a good clarinet teacher, I would go for someone like Michael Collins, as I don't rate many of the college/academy ones really..

How about an MA in performance?
