[CAUT] CAUT credential vs. academic program?

"Compete" was not a good word choice. I just wondered if the committee had considered your program in their deliberations. You might have an experienced view of the questions they are pondering.

  Fred, Ed, and All,

  The two-year master's program at Florida State University is an unusually accelerated and intensive opportunity.  It is one option in a field of rare opportunity for such training.  Graduates leave with tools I wish I'd had when I started out thirty years ago.  Not only are they equipped to fill university posts but can virtually go anywhere in the business and plug in successfully.  I designed the program with as much openness and free exchange of ideas as possible as evidenced by our ever growing list of guest lecturers.  I also hoped that other institutions and entities would be stimulated by our program to look into developing other opportunities.  Any initiative that helps elevate and strengthen our field is worth investigating as collaborative, not competitive.

  FSU is offering a Masters of Music in Piano Technology.  I believe the program is intended to train people to work in a university, i.e. as "academically credentialed CAUTs".  
  How does the proposed CAUT credential compare to that curriculum?  Will PTG be competing with an accredited program?

  Hi Ed,
      I believe Ann Garee at FSU is set up to train a maximum of two masters candidates in piano technology per year, or maybe it is two students enrolled and one degree per year. A drop in the bucket, though a welcome drop. 
      At any rate, it is unlikely that she would consider what we a proposing as "competition." She was very supportive of the caut endorsement concept when I spoke to her about it this past summer. There can be no question that a two year hands-on program with a mentor in a real life music department is far beyond anything we in PTG can produce in terms of training opportunities.
