<HTML>Alan, Eric, This is a great idea which should fit into our plans for CAUT curiculum at t= he Annual and regional/state conventions.   Over the last few year= s on the list there has been discussion about various types of classes, from= a 2 hour intro to piano technology for music or piano majors (more of an in= troduction to your piano and its service) to a full-term or multi-term class= in piano technology.   Let's talk about this in the CAUT committe= e.

I've been teaching an "Intro to Piano Tuning and Technology" class here at the Conservatory for the past couple of years and have benefited from Don's as well as other's input. Undergraduate piano majors are required to take the class sometime before<BR= > they graduate. Putting together a class from scratch is a whole lot of work<= BR> for, in most cases, little pay. The rewards are great, however in increased<= BR> rapport and respect from both students and faculty. I am hired as an adjunct= instructor separately from my salaried staff position and am paid per credit-hour. I haven't been following this thread closely, so don't know if your idea of<= BR> a sub-committee has the blessing of Fred and Bill. Fred ? Bill ? Because of<= BR> the nature of this work, we could probably do a lot of the work online. Could we get a sub-list started?
