Course of action for learning

[Farrell]

I recommend either attending a respected in-house piano tech course (Bennett Street School, Western Ont., etc.) or purchase the Randy Potter School of Piano Technology course (correspondence course). A mentor would always be a great benefit. I didn't have one. I did the Randy Potter thing.
