<p>Things have changed and requirements differ from school to school. Some have dissertations required while others allow recitals with “significant program notes” (10,000 words) which by the time you complete the three recitals really ads up! </p>

I thought that was why they used the “honorific” of professor… I admit to feeling schizoid when I’d go from college to working with 6 years olds who would just yell “teacher, teacher”!!</p>
