style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">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.” <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt">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. <BR><BR>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. <o:p></o:p></P>
