recital piano usage

Hi Dave


>We are reviewing our policy on recital piano usage, and input from other
>institutions would be helpful. So, a few questions.
>1. Do you limit access to your recital piano(s)?

Yes


>2. How much rehearsal time is allowed for piano recitals on that piano?

Depends, a faculty member is likely to get as much time as the schedule for
the hall allows.  

>3. How much rehearsal time is allowed for vocal or instrumental recitals
>where that piano will be used to accompany?

See # 2

>4. Is the piano locked and covered, and if so, who is in charge of the
>key? What about weekend recitals? (we have many)

The pianos are covered, the halls are locked.  Only myself, the stage
manager and the dept chairman have a key. Weekend recitals are discouraged
because of the expense of having the stage crew on hand.
