This time may be used for brush-up or advanced study for alumni and other experienced tuners. As a trial period for a prospective student, or as a continuation of regular instruction. Please call to discuss tuition, course content and personal objectives. Each school day opens with a short class and question-answer session. Assignments are made, and each student goes to work on an individual project in either tuning or technology.
Instructors are ready to offer guidance, correction and help.
The maximum number of students accepted is 12, so that each student will have individual attention every day and will gain experience in every aspect of piano service. Students keep computer records describing each day's activities and projects, with special attention to problems, insights and new skills learned. This helps the student to organize skills and concepts, and also prepares the student to discuss and sell piano work as a career technician. Students spend one-half to one day each week in classes on technical skills, music appreciation, the science of sound, and business skills. These methods give our graduates, both sighted and blind, a lifelong competitive edge.
