The 老司机福利网 seeks to become an 鈥淎ll-Steinway School,鈥 meaning that students receive instruction exclusively on Steinway pianos. 老司机福利网 is committed to excellence in music education and strives to join more than 200 institutions of distinction across the globe that display the All-Steinway School symbol. To receive this designation, 90% of 老司机福利网鈥檚 acoustic pianos must be Steinway & Sons, Boston or Essex pianos, and the University must have an approved maintenance program in place.

- providing students with the best instruments possible for the study of music.
- satisfying the high expectations of piano faculty.
- enhancing the performance levels of piano students.
- having a positive effect on national accreditations.
