[CAUT] Other ways of testing...for CAUT

[Paul T Williams]

Ed,

That was similar to my interview here at UNL.  I didn't have a choice, 
however.  They took me to the Piano Dept Co-chair's office (which had 2 
Steinway B's) and told me to do what I thought best to the one by the 
window in 3 hours.  This was nerve racking, but it really let me "show my 
stuff".  They also grilled me on how much I knew and we "tested" two of 
the concert grands and asked my what I would do. It actually turned into a 
teaching lesson showing them different things I noticed about the 
instruments and my methods for correcting what I saw/heard.  The interview 
lasted all day; the rest was the usual stuff meeting the Dean and Director 
etc. 

Anyone else had an interview like this?

Paul

Just for fun, here's a college interview I was told about:

The candidate was given a choice of a half-dozen weary studio grand pianos
and told "Pick a piano and show us how much you can improve it in 3 
hours."

I think that was a pretty clever idea!  I wish more school administrators 
were that clever.
