"Or am I walking off a cliff here?" I don't know about a cliff, but I think you fell in a ditch, along side the road. I have long advocated the education of piano majors, never allow at Rutgers, but I would hesitate to teach a full course of technology. Too much time invested for too little return. I would rather see piano players taught the basics but leave the fine stuff to us. Tune unisons but let us restring and do concert tuning. Teach them to safely remove an action but let us replace the broken shanks. That sort of thing. Some players are very bright and could pursue two carrier and THOSE should be taught, but giving a screwdriver to just anyone is dangerous. Too many eyes to poke out. Newton
