Our day with Jason Cassel, RPT, technician at the Brigham Young University School of Music, was time well spent for those who attended. Jason's presentations did an excellent job of getting technicians to engage with the material, both for those new to the field as well as those with decades of experience. We left with a deeper understanding of voicing and with a solid method to use to create a consistent aftertouch on both upright and grand pianos.
Many thanks to Kayoko Forrest, RPT for organizing the day, and to Joshua Sadinsky, head technician at Cal State University Long Beach for the work he did to host us. Thank you as well, Jason, for highlighting all of the digital resources on the PTG website, reminding us that we have access to more information on piano technology today than previous generations could have dreamed of having. We all sit before a feast and can indulge our minds and increase our skills like never before in history, so dig in.
After hopefully digging into Thanksgiving feasts last week, perhaps having given a thought of gratitude for your Guild membership, this month please come and celebrate the end of the year with us at a holiday party once again at Precision Piano, hosted by Franco Skilan, RPT.
As in the past, the Los Angeles Chapter invites all PTG technicians from across our five Southern California chapters to join us. We will gather on Monday evening, December 15th, from 5 to 8 pm. Just like last year it will be a potluck, so please whip up something delightful to contribute to a hopefully well-tempered smorgasbord of good food, desserts and drinks.
Thank you to all who have contributed time and effort this year toward the success of LA Chapter. Here is to a prosperous 2026!
See you at Franco's.
