The Tuning Course
|
There are currently 4 DVD’s included with the written text. There are questions at the end of each lesson for your self evaluation. Lessons 5-18 include an on-line tutoring session and examination.
As a member of the school you can also take advantage of our intensive training right here in our studio. These sessions are limited to two students at a time. You may contact the school when you wish to schedule one of these tuning workshops.
Upon completion of the course, we can assist you in arranging to take the Piano Technicians Guild Certification exam for Tuning. We offer these exams right here in our studio as well.
Tools are sold separately. After enrolling in the school we will provide you with the information to contact Schaff Piano Supply, which is the official supply house for our school.
You can purchase the basic tools that we recommend. They will also provide you with a catalog for other tools you may wish to purchase in the future. You will need to provide them your student identification to qualify for this purchase. The approximate cost of the tuning tools is currently $175. plus shipping.
