[CAUT] Syllabus in Piano Technology

[reggaepass at aol.com]

We are still hammering out whether this will be one hour a week of "class" time or more.  It is not intended as a major, but as supplementary to whatever their major is, and of a more introductory nature (repeatable at a higher level for additional credit).  Since I intend to start out with only one student, our hour together will be more like a one-on-one applied lesson.  Our library already has nearly all of the texts I plan to use (so he can check them out) and I will request that they acquire those they don't (starting out with Steve Brady's "Under the Lid").  So, taking this independent study course wouldn't actually entail any cost for tools or texts up front, and if they become an associate of the CalArts Piano Shop, tool borrowing privileges are one of the perks that attract young techs who we can't really afford to pay what they are worth.  That way, they can earn the money to buy their own tools by working on pianos without going into credit card debt.



All that being said, mentoring someone through the Randy Potter Course does have a certain appeal to it...

How about simply acting as mentor and 
requiring the students to order Randy Potter's course?  I spent a lot more 
money on college textbooks over the years than that

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,

  



  
Alan Eder
