[pianotech] phenomana - experiment.

[David Renaud]

Signing up for the test does often involve a prescreening to see if they are ready.

It is not uncommon that a candidate does not know aural tests, and we find ourselves
Teaching basic test for a 4th and 5th. Teaching 4:2 test is just a basic lesson in basic
Aural tuning as point of reference. I don't teach that this is exactly where it goes, it is 
Just a point of reference, and the upper interval can or "should" be a bit faster. How much?
........there is room for style within tolerances. 

    Teaching 4:2 is not teaching the test, it's teaching basic universal aural skills.They can
And are encouraged Still to make their own choices. It's teaching tuning. A wide range of
Stretch style will pass very well, if they need to be taught this, it's to give something to hold 
Onto because of great inconsistencies.
