[CAUT] Space usage survey

[Alan Eder]

Hi Barbara,

I had 2 hours (8 - 10am) each Thursday and Friday
Were there performances (and other piano usage?) during the week, or only Thursday-Sunday?  Or?


Thanks,


Alan Eder

Hi David,

Years ago, when I was on staff at Illinois Wesleyan, I had 2 hours (8 - 10am) each Thursday and Friday--and it was posted on the concert hall schedule.  I think during the five and a half years that I was there, I was only asked to give up my time twice. Faculty and guest recitals always got "just before the event" tunings or touch-ups.
Major work took place during the spring or summer breaks.  It worked well, though I had to send a nice note out to the faculty asking them to not disturb me when I was working in the hall because my time was limited.

Good afternoon all-

Just a quick post to ask  -  for those of you that have regular access to your concert instruments ( certainly not all of us, I know ), how much time do you normally ask for - receive –  require in your performance  halls ? And at what times of day? I am going to be making space time requests and am looking for some data to reinforce the point that sufficient, regular weekly time with concert instruments is crucial to their health and well being.

Many thanks in advance -

Best-

David
