---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Don't count on NASM to force departments to keep pianos tuned. Accreditation review happens only every ten years. And most of it is done through self-study (ie, the department reviewing itself). There aren't any NASM police out there watching - NASM reviewers are volunteer faculty from other institutions, who go for one week or so, read the self-evaluation, talk to some people, wander around, and write their reports. Not to say that NASM can't be useful. I'll write more a little later, but will just note briefly here that I think our department managed to get sufficient attention of the upper administration, via a NASM report that noted lacks in piano purchase and maintenance, that we may end up with a replacement budget.
