Disklavier

I guess you are shouting because you are in all caps.  You sound pretty
angry.

I enjoy using this list regardless of the type of mail it is.  I believe the
purpose of most email lists is to be able to discuss any topic that pertains
to the group type.  One of the most important etiquette rules of most lists
is to put the subject of your email in the space indicated for subject.
That way if you don't wish to read the email, then you can delete it.

Limiting any subject tends to surpress, and then eventually turn the member
off to any response.

I subscribe to several lists and if I want to read the mail because of the
subject I do, if not I just delete it.

Joe, it is very difficult to read mail that is in all caps.  I use to do it
until someone pointed out that rules of etiquette for writing say that
unless you are absolutely angry as hell, don't type in all caps. I am very
interested in (so far) in all the mail coming from this list, as it is very
informative.  I think your point is well taken (although I could do without
the shouting!).  I hope that we will all realize that this a place that we
can all learn a great deal from, as well as a place to voice our complaints.
I think it is rather calous of Yamaha to take the view that they have taken
on volume.

New Subject: Use of Yamaha in Music Education

Does anyone in the group know of schools or colleges using the Yamaha for
rehearsal purposes or for teaching?

I do not have much to contribute because I basically use my piano for Opera
and Lieder rehearsal only.  If there are any members that are interested in
the files that I have converted to ESQ for Opera or Lieder (specifically for
Soprano) then please email me privately.  I will be glad to upload these
midi files if there is any interest.
