[CAUT] Degrees in Piano Technology?

[reggaepass at aol.com]

Jim,



You might want to at least take a look at what is required to become a "tonemeister" (our closest equivalent would be a well musically educated recording technician) in Germany.  Ed suggested looking at recording technicians programs here in the states, which is a good idea, but those may not be high-powered enough on the music education side of the equation for a B. A.

Thanks,



 



But… there are no “degrees”? Anywhere? Does
anyone know if U. of Western Ontario offers a degree? I couldn’t get that
out of their website.



 



If anyone should be given the right to give a college degree it
would be NBSS.  They are fantastic! Many other programs are very good too,
but as someone pointed out to me, anyone can offer a “certificate”
but if an actual accredited University has a degree if has a lot more weight
with academia. (Not my words…)



 



I understand that Owen Jorgensen had a degree offered where he
was. Does anyone know?



 



I’m being pressed by a new University to pursue this but
want to find a precedent, if one exits. It’s always harder to “reinvent
the wheelE2.



 



Thanks,



Jim
