If you cannot afford, in time or money, to attend a one or two-year program at a residential school for piano technology, our piano tuning school is your best alternative. There isn't another school I am aware of that provides the personal, timely, and comprehensive instruction, particularly in aural tuning, you will receive here.
Tuning a piano requires quite a bit of patience and learned skills. While adjusting each tuning pin might look simple, professional tuners have honed their abilities over many years. This expertise helps them create a beautiful sound. The best way to learn is to connect with a professional piano technician. We’re passionate about passing on our experience. So why not connect with us? Yes, we use the internet. But you’ll quickly discover that you’re connecting with a real person. You’ll have a mentor! Kate, Maggie, and I not only teach piano technology, but we’re also in the field working on real pianos. We’re all RPT members of the Guild, and we’re also Certified Examiners for the Guild. We administer the certification exams offered by the Piano Technicians Guild.
We teach aural tuning and the technical skills needed to service pianos. And we can help you do the same. As examiners, we also know how to prepare our students for the exams. We’ll help you develop a strategy to pass those exams. If you’d like, you can come to our exam site and work with me before taking those exams. You’ll be able to take mock exams. Then, we will identify any issues of concern and address them. Finally, you’re welcome to take the exams while you’re here.
