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 ³competition.² 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.
