Do you have an interest in becoming a piano tuner / technician?
If you have an interest in learning piano tuning and technology, there are several ways to embark on your learning path:1.Attend a school as a full time student - This requires locating to the school for a focused full-time curriculum. 2.Enroll in a correspondence course - These generally supply tools and exams as the student progresses through the study materials. Some are solely correspondence while others offer some form of on-line guidance and evaluation.3.An apprentice-type learning under personal instruction of an experienced tuner/technician - With this approach, a local technician creates learning assignments along with personal instruction and job shadowing. This may also be a way to enhance #2 where a correspondence course of study can be applied under the eye of a technician.Joining a trade organization, such as the Piano Technicians Guild, will provide on-going skills development and peer instruction. I prefer a combination of #3 & #2 where an interested person gets started with some basic tools and instruction to give the student a chance to see what tuning is all about. After a few months, the prospective student can choose their path forward and consider several courses of study and the investment required. Once enrolled in one of the available correspondence courses, I can be available as a local advisor to assist in the learning process for the apprentice student.If you have an interest in learning piano tuning and technology, send me an email and we can find a time to discuss it further.
