<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">That was similar to my interview here
at UNL. I didn't have a choice, however. They took me to the
Piano Dept Co-chair's office (which had 2 Steinway B's) and told me to
do what I thought best to the one by the window in 3 hours. This
was nerve racking, but it really let me "show my stuff". They
also grilled me on how much I knew and we "tested" two of the
concert grands and asked my what I would do. It actually turned into a
teaching lesson showing them different things I noticed about the instruments
and my methods for correcting what I saw/heard. The interview lasted
all day; the rest was the usual stuff meeting the Dean and Director etc.

<br><tt><font size=2>Just for fun, here's a college interview I was told
about:<br>
<br>
The candidate was given a choice of a half-dozen weary studio grand pianos<br>
and told "Pick a piano and show us how much you can improve it in
3 hours."<br>
<br>
I think that was a pretty clever idea! I wish more school administrators
<br>
were that clever.<br>
