performance piano - student psychopathology 101

[Otto Keyes]

I guess I should re-phrase that to say "I suspect"...glovers needles, since
I found a supply left in a drawer here, & given what I've seen, put the two
together as cause & effect.

However, the problem is not the split hammers.  Hammers are no big deal,
though it may take awhile to get through all of them.  My goal is to change
the prevailing culture here, not just the hammers.  In the "sensitive
artist", confronting psychosomatically induced piano ills calls into
question all sorts of things, including such inconsequencial things as
talent, hearing ability, artistic judgement, technique, etc., etc.  Such
things can get one into an adversarial situation very quickly, if not
approached with great tact.  Therefore, I call upon your vast, collective
experience.

Otto
