Piano Training Question (Long)

Nicely presented (couldn't really call it "summarized" ) description of the situation, Israel.



I would add one thing: The only real hope one has of learning correct, efficient procedures and quality tuning is to have one or, better, both of the following:



1. A skilled and experienced mentor/tutor who will really teach you as an apprentice, not just dump the crap jobs on you or limit your training to a few shop functions, etc.



2. Active, participating, involved, go-to-meetings-seminars-and-conventions, help-out-in-your-chapter, continuous, dedicated and loyal membership in the PTG.



I only had the Randy Potter School of Witchcraft and Piano Technology and my PTG membership. The Potter course at least provided a structured plan for learning and put a lot of book stuff in my head (scored a 99 on the written RPT exam) but it has been the PTG that made most of the difference. I would not trade my membership in this great organization and the association of my dear friends and colleages for anything!
