insurance

[Michelle Smith]

I've had several school situations where I've asked the custodian to lock
the door behind me so I won't be disturbed and also sometimes for my safety.
I'm amazed at how many middle school and high school students just wander in
and start talking to me like they have no where else to be.  When the door
is locked, they stand there and bang on the door (thinking their choir
teacher is playing the piano) and I just ignore them.  Ha ha!  I keep
meaning to make a sign with something like, "Piano tuner at work.  Please do
not disturb."

At a school I've tuned at, a foreign exchange student came into the room
where I was tuning. I asked her if she was scheduled to be there, and all I
got was a blank look. She sat down at a piano and played one piece, and
played beautifully. 

I later told a tuner/friend about it. He said "DO NOT, under ANY
circumstances, let a student be alone in a room with you!!"  It only took me
about a nano-second to understand what he was saying and I realized what
ugly potential it had... despite that there were windows into the main band
room from where I was.  Yup, sad.
