(I'm proof of Randy Potters course) Do keep in mind though, it is a correspondence course. It has many pluses and a big minus. The minus is that it is a correspondence course and you don't get the 1-on-1 feedback relationship on a day-to-day basis. One thing you may also want to check out is PTG membership. The benefits are excellent. I think one of the biggest things that helped me in education was (and still is!) the PTG. Attending local chapter meetings, regional and state seminars, and the PTG Annual Convention is a valuable resource. Most of the seminars and conventions offer 1-on-1 classes in different aspects of pianos. In my experience, you can sign up for a slot and pick your instructors brain for an hour. Learning all of the aspects of piano technology is a lifelong experience, but you do have to start somewhere. Good luck! Mike Masters Masters Piano Service Lakewood, OH
