[CAUT] Piano juries on concert instruments

[Jeff Tanner]

No. I know that as we come out of this recession, there will be CAUT openings. We have seen the openings that have been advertised in the past few years and every one has had its share of criticism from the list for what's expected vs the compensation for it. I've demonstrated what works to make change for the benefit of those who will be applying for those positions, and I am advocating that it will take more than one of us to make a difference for the benefit of everyone else.

    Now, what I did changed the job into an IDEAL situation.  Not a "who doesn't wish things were better" situation.  Ya'll can say what you want about how good attitude and repoire with faculty and students make up for the shortfalls. But you CAN make it better. And it starts with having the guts to rock the boat and stand up for ourselves. And I think we owe it to the next generation of techs to do so.


  Hey, Jeff, bully for you! I think you are spot on in saying that the only way to achieve change is to, well, advocate for change. 
  OTOH, in most of your bandwidth on this topic, I get the impression of someone who was married a couple times, had bad experiences that ended in divorce, spends the rest of his life railing against marriage and the opposite sex, and is convinced that anyone who is happily married is deluded. Get over it!
