Wow. Two of my heroes; the records they've collaborated on are truly awesome. Google these guys. Google Telarc Records, then listen to the amazing quality of both the piano prep and the recordings on each and every track. These are two of the world masters in this realm. I'm abashed and inspired to be teaching along side these wonderful artisans at this NEECSO. I highly encourage you to stretch and make this one....<div>David Andersen<br><div> <br><div><div>On Apr 8, 2008, at 3:16 AM, Will Truitt wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div class="Section1"><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; ">Reason # 101 to<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><b><span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; ">COME TO NEECSO 2008<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">“<b>Of Mics and Men (Women & Pianos) – The Art of Recording the Piano</b>” by Barbara Pease Renner and Jack Renner<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">Frankly, we couldn’t believe our good fortune when we pulled this brand new class together. After all, Barbara (a member of the Rhode Island PTG chapter) is a busy 27 year veteran of the recording studios around the world working at the highest level; Jack is a co-founder of Telarc Records (the first and largest of the “audiophile” labels) and is regarded as one of the finest recording engineers in the world (as evidenced by his 11 Grammies). Don’t expect this class to be dry; if you have met Barbara or Jack, you know them to have a lively good sense of humor. And we have garnered the assistance of a fine pianist, Ryan Parker, to serve as the recording artist for their presentation<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-left: 0in; line-height: 115%; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; ">NEECSO 2008 may be the only time this class is offered, so don’t miss your opportunity.
