You mean the modern classical music world? (as that is the scope of the discussion).
Professors are such a tiny chunk of population compared to students though, and getting a professor position is highly competitive so it's not surprising they have musical merit. My assumption, if this article is based in valid observations, is that if you look at other forms of music, more students are out there doing musical projects already whereas classical students are getting positions in orchestras.
