I just got an email from our Director saying:=20

"The National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) is conducting a
multi-year review of its accreditation standards and your assistance is
requested.  The NASM Standards have a broad impact on music in higher
education.  All of us have an interest in developing the best possible
standards." =20

There is an FAQ about this review process here
<http://nasm.arts-accredit.org/index.jsp?page=3DFAQs%3A+NASM+Standards+Re=
v
iew> .  The entire NASM Handbook is available in .pdf format here.

I downloaded the handbook and searched for the word "piano" and found
that in the 216 pages of standards for an NASM accredited institution,
the word piano appeared only 9 times. =20

I know that PTG and the CAUT committee has wanted to have more input in
their standards so it would seem to me that their request for input now
would be a good opportunity for us to do just that.

Comments?  Ideas??
