Rants of a Pianist

While the subject line may sound like I'm upset, I'm not, I'm just amused by a few things, all piano related.
  1. Tendonitis, while preparing for a recital, is not a laughable subject, no matter how much you personally enjoy the "irony", or "oddity" of it. I am not amused, you shouldn't be either.
  2. Just because the piano lid to the piano in the recital hall was left open does not mean it was done by a pianist. I don't know if the powers that be ever notice, but non-pianists use the recital hall, and the piano within. And this includes professors.
  3. Calvin's office is not a toy. It should not be used by those who are not piano performance majors. And those planning recitals should get preference. 
  4. In addition to this, if you are a non performance major and use his office, please be sure to leave the office as you found it, i.e. with the lights OFF. This is why custodial keeps locking his office thus locking out the piano performance majors in the early morning hours. They get suspicious when the light is left on. Go figure.
  5. Please do not eat at any piano. Not only is this gross, you are a college student/faculty/staff and should know better by now. Some of us are tired of sterilizing the piano every time we use it.
Thanks for reading, and behave better on those pianos!
