That's no fun............... I love the inquisitive kids who think it's really cool that they got to pull a string and understand a harmonic. That's the terrible thing about all this- the good kids get cheated out of a golden opportunity for some interesting learning. les b _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Michelle Smith Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 6:41 PM To: 'Pianotech List' Subject: RE: insurance 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."

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.
