Steven, I have submitted applications for the STEP program several times over for about the past ten years. More recently I had been advised on separate occasions by Peter Goodrich, Karl Roeder, and Kevin Stock that I should be encouraged to take the Steinway program. I am an independent technician, but I am on good working terms with the local Steinway dealer. I do own a Steinway, have Steinway customers, and do work for the Banff Centre here in Canada. Of course I would really be interested in the Concert Prep. seminar, being an and avid aural tuner, however I would cherish any opportunity to work with Steinway and Sons. Thankyou for keeping us up to date on this one Stephen.
