The School of Music does not offer any kind of "taking care of your piano" type course. Right now there is a budget crisis in Alabama, and the chance of a new course being offered are pretty slim. But the chairman of the department wants me to put together something for consideration in a year or two. I think it is imperative that all piano majors, and even those studying seriously in the private sector, need to be exposed to a general piano overview. Certainly not one that delves into repair and regulation, or even tuning. But piano players should know something beyond that a note plays when depressed. I am appalled sometimes with the lack of knowledge of some good piano players. Wim ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
