[CAUT] Preaching to the choir;

[Jeff Tanner]

Yes, a certificate of merit from CAUT. Not a doctoral degree in every 
conceivable facet of the trade plus tangents into other trades. If nothing 
else, schools might also encourage their tech to attend Yamaha and Steinway 
training seminars, which the CAUT degree would not, could not recognize. And 
since there is no way for a CAUT endorsement to recognize other training 
programs considered highly respected and viable by university faculties and 
performing artists, it renders the PTG CAUT endorsement uncredible.
