Each "piano major" is allowed one rehearsal before their recital on the concert instrument they will play. Master classes are held every Monday. I never counted up for the month but it seems similar to yours. However, one week we had 19 recitals. We have to stay on top of these pianos daily. =20 Jim Busby =20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Avery Todd Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 11:49 AM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: Gratuities & concert tuning =20 Richard Another consideration of performance instruments is that they really get played very little.... unless they are also used for practice. If a concert grand gave three performances a week, the playing time would be, say, one hour per day or 3 hours a week? Tuning of this should take about 1.5 hours a week. What concert grand gets performed on as much as 3 hours a week? Chances are they get practiced on much more than performance or tuning. Richard Moody Going to have to disagree here. At least in my case and I imagine in a lot=20 of others. Just out of curiosity, I went through and counted the recitals=20 scheduled for the month of April just in our primary student recital hall:=20 21 for voice & various other instruments and 17 for piano, at least half or so are at the Master's or DMA level, one using both 'D's. That's in=20 addition to a few Masterclasses and all the dress rehersals. There are also=20 10-11 hrs. use per week for the piano teachers' studio classes.=20 And are 3 weekend days not booked at all because of Easter!=20 So I think ours are used just "little" more than 3 hrs. a week for=20 performances. :-)=20 Avery=20 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
