<DIV>Dear Shawn Brock-</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can't help you with your question, but I want to express my deep
respect for your willingness to give your best to develop as a piano
technician. Nevin Essex is a teacher who communicates what it's
like to be a person who approaches piano work with a joyful
commitment. If what he is teaching really speaks to you, you would do
well to follow your excitement.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV>Ed Sutton<BR><BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV>Hello list, let me introduce myself. My name is Shawn Brock
and I am a blind Musician/ Audio Engineer/ wantabee Piano Tuner
Technician. At this time I liv in Cincinnati and have studied with one
of the best Techs around, Nevin Essex. We have worked on tuning, some
restringing and soon regulating. As I stated I am a musician(but not a
pianist) I know its strange a blind guy who dont want to play the
piano... A blind guy who got into piano tuning whin he dont have
to! The truth is I have a good ear and good dexterity. In short,
I'm in love with Piano Technology! Its true I'm makeing a good living
with my studio and band and now I am 25 years old so its a little late to
change horses but I want to. Anyhow after all of this
rambeling... Was wondering if there are any graduates from the north
benet street school in boston who would bee willing to talk to me about
there experiences with the school? At this time it seems nbss is the
way to go for me. They have had blind students in the past, anyone on
list know one of these people? If possible i would like to talk to
anyone over the phone on my dime, at your time. I just need more info
before i pull up stakes and move to Boston. Its a big thing for me to
close my business and giv up all i have worked to build. If anyone can
talk to me I would bee varry, vary grateful! Thanks.</DIV>
