[pianotech] personal question- where did you learn PT?

[AAA Piano Works, LLC]

I am so lucky to have had a mentor ( I still do) who led classes once a week.  Now I assist him in teaching other interested folks ( we have 8 now).  In addition, I took the Randy Potter Piano Technology Course.  The resources are fantastic.  Even though there are some  “crusty” folks, the vast, overall majority of piano technicians are willing to assist and to share.

 

I taught music for 29 years and just quit this past spring.  I am doing this full time and feel very blessed to have the support of family and fellow techs.

Greetings, 

 

         Since 1976 I was a machine designer; on the drawing board and in later years we designed using AutoCad. In 2002, I learned basic piano tuning/repairs from the University of Western Ontario. I still read piano technology and related books and do web searches as well . Regional PTG conventions have very helpful classes. Also I've played the piano since I could walk. Follow your heart.

As a current student of Piano Technology, trying to carve out my path of learning on Vancouver Island BC…. I wonder where different people have gained their knowledge.  If you would like to share your experience I would be thrilled… because there is so much knowledge and talent on this forum!!

 

Thanks

Zoe
