>>I am giving a technical presentation to a group of about 30 piano teachers on Feb. 15th. I looking for ideas on subject matter. I don't want to get too technical.
How about a section on myths; i.e. using milk to clean keys, outside walls ruin pianos, cracked soundboards render an instrument worthless, only aural tuners are any good, "never needs tuning", regulated at factory so don't change it, etc.
This is most important to teach to teachers. They are the ones that need to learn the truth, since they pass along whatever hairbrained ideas they absorb.
I bet there are others I don't remember hearing over the years. Maybe if somebody comes up with others we can change the thread to "myths"??
