The course I proposed is NOT a technology class. However, when I talked with 
the chairman of the graduate program, which rejected the class, he told me the 
reason the committee rejected the course is because they thought it was a 
piano technology class. Unfortunately, apparently none of the graduate faculty 
committee read the first page of my proposal, which specifically stated that the 
class was NOT a technology course. So much for college professors reading the 
assignment. I won't get into specifics, but I think part of the reason they 
rejected the class is because it might have students taking my class instead of 
one of their classes. Imagine that, students wanting to take a class they can 
actually use, instead of a class the professors want to teach to make them 
look good. 



On the other hand, if you really think you'd get enough response, I 
could see a two-week workshop between semesters being a good format for 
a piano parts and functions class.  You might have a better chance of 
getting something like that approved. 
I asked the chairman about this, and he suggested I contact that department. 
There is a 2 week interim program offered through the extension service 
between the end of the spring semester and the beginning of summer school. Classes 
in this program do not need to be approved by the faculty, but some of them can 
be taken for credit. So I might pursue this.  Thanks for the suggestion.
