Dear Carl;
<BR>Thanks so much for your great ideas. I certainly do agree with
you! If you don't object, I would like to incorporate your
ideas into EqualTemperamet.com. It may take a little time but along with
the books, music, CD's, recordings etc. I can invision using some Real
Audio so visitors can hear samples for themselves. Anyway if you
like take a look at what's shaping up so far look at the newest update.

<BR>> Dear List:
<BR>> I am compiling a list of books and music to recommend to piano
<BR>> customers with the purpose of helping to promote and enhance
the
<BR>> appreciation of the piano.
<P>Hello Garret,
<P>I'm especially interested in the AUDIO section of your list.
<BR>Introducing piano students to a variety of piano styles might inspire
<BR>them to continue their lessons by going in a new direction.
<P>Like most of us, I was raised on classical standards - DWEM. While
we
<BR>may have been introduced to Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Marcus Roberts
<BR>and Dr. John along the way, most piano students have not. Let's
throw
<BR>in some vocal work - Mose Allison, Shirley Horn, and David Frishberg.
<P>I would suggest an AUDIO section that lists piano music by style.
Then
<BR>find recordings that are still in print featuring solo piano where
<BR>possible. If transcriptions of recordings are available, so much
the
<BR>better.
<P>Good Luck</BLOCKQUOTE>
