He was working for the first time as an artist-in-residence in Caren Nelson’s preschool class at Washington School last year. “I was apprehensive at first about working with such young children,” said Sturdevant, who also plays in the jazz and blues-style San Francisco Medicine Ball Band. “I thought they wouldn’t be interested in the music I do; I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep them involved.

The rate of offers for entry-level law firm positions to summer associates also fell by 20 percent.
