To my knowledge there is no official definition. In my opinion anyone who
services pianos at an institution, either full, part-time or contract is a
CAUT. With regard to PTG and CAUT, we invite anyone to participate in
forums and other media. If you have contracts with schools, school
districts or state mental and physical health institutions, etc. the
information shared will be of benefit to you.

Past CAUT surveys have shown this to be true.
