Hello all, Our music department will be getting a new chair this summer. This could mean a lot in terms of pianos. We are in desperate need of new instruments. Lately piano replacement funds have been appearing in occasional various lump amounts which has allowed the purchase of 17 pianos within the last few months. I am told that another lump sum can be expected. The prospect of this trend continuing, however, is not known. We have at least another 25-30 small and medium size grands to purchase in order to remedy our immediate needs. A new Chair could potentially introduce a new way of doing things. My feeling is that there are presently "too many cooks in the kitchen". There are several individuals contributing to the process which in my opinion are hindering more than helping. Although the project involves an enormous amount of money and important decisions, I think this is a task can best be handled by two or three people rather than a "committee" that must debate and argue e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. I'm sure many on this list have experienced administrative changes and certainly every university tech has fought the unsung battle of replacing old rotten pianos. This change could either be a blessing or make things more complicated than ever. It seems to me a first step is to find out a little about this person's past philosophies. I would also be interested in hearing other experiences with new administrators. Any thoughts/stories appreciated.
