    The Juilliard School in NYC is now accepting resumes for the position of Director of Piano Maintenance. The school currently owns 275 pianos, almost all of which are Steinways but also include Yamaha, Fazioli, and Shigeru concert instruments as well. The staff consists of 5 full time technicians and one part time position all of whom are very experienced. The maintenance program is very well funded. As an example the school is currently in the process of acquiring 25 new Steinways almost half of which are Hamburg instruments. The piano faculty and upper administration are extremely supportive of the maintenance program. The possibility of teaching advanced interns exists as well.  Ideally the school would like to complete the search by the end of this calendar year, employment starting late spring or early summer.

     

    On a personal note, this is my 7th and final year as director and can say without reservation, that the school is an exceptional place to work. Please help spread the word regarding this unique opportunity. Interested parties should feel free to contact me directly and or visit the Juilliard website under HR employment openings for the complete job description.

    Hey Richard,

     

    Thanks for the message. It would be fun to check out that position. As you see, they are also looking for a new director of piano tech in NY. I thought I would look into that as well. If it is not too much trouble please send me that link. I could not find the HR link on their website.

     

    Had a particularly unfortunate interaction with Ernie today. He threw me out of his office. So my options are certainly open.
