David, Thanks for the info on Rice. It sounds like Dean Shank is training other crossover pianist/technicians. Anne Garee created the Masters degree program in Piano Technology at Florida State University in Tallahassee and I believe it just started this year. Here's a link: http://www.music.fsu.edu/garee.htm Eric ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eric Wolfley Head Piano Technician Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music University of Cincinnati ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: David M.

Years ago he was half-time piano technician and half-time teacher I believe. Now he has another working with him. Avery Todd at U of Houston probably knows more about their program. dave PS I wasn't aware of the Florida program. Which school? Is there more info on the web? __________________________________________ David M.
