[CAUT] Syllabus in Piano Technology

[reggaepass at aol.com]

My Dean suggested an independent study in piano technology--learning the trade--?because there is interest among our students and because he can justify paying me as adjunct faculty for teaching a music related trade to conservatory students, most of who will need something other than music to keep them afloat after graduation, at least.? Sounds like the precedent for this?may be additional staff who were hired to help teach web design to music technology majors, a required skill in a required class for them.?

Sorry for not stating that clearly up front.

Alan McCoy collected various materials, but on the notion of a course about the piano (in some depth, with various levels of contact from full semester to one day presentation) for the general music student (especially those playing piano), leading to understanding the instrument. From what you say below, I am assuming you are after "becoming a piano technician" instead. If you need the other sort, say so and I can pass along some things, including an outline I did recently for a couple in depth presentations to piano majors. Teaching someone the trade, that's a completely different kettle of fish.

If you mean piano technology with intention of becoming a piano technician, check the web sites of schools of piano technology.

Not to be confused with piano technology as taught to performance majors to understand their instrument better.

Alan:

There was a sub-committee developing a syllabus some time ago, and Don Mc had some material.? I could dig through my .pdf files to see what I can find, or perhaps you already have that material.

Greetings List,

I just got the go ahead to offer an independent study in Piano Technology to one or two students (for which I will be paid as adjunct faculty, a substantially higher rate than what I get paid for servicing pianos and training and supervising students assistants).



?



I need to prepare a syllabus to submit by the end of the week and am in the process of developing one. ?Just wanted to get some input from any of you who have done this before, particularly syllabi that have been used and revised over many years.



?



Thanks,
