I figured its about time to tell you why I personally went to piano tuning school. I am a second generation piano tuner and the owner of a mid sized used piano shop in Arizona. I attended piano tuning school when I was 20 years old in hopes of starting my own piano tuning business. My grandfather was a piano tuner for his entire life and since he was winding down in a nursing home, I decided to pick up the family business and learn to tune pianos. 
Piano Tuning School
I cant tell you what school I went to for legal reasons but I will say they are one of the most popular correspondence based piano tuning schools in the country. It took me just a few months to finish the piano tuning course and begin practicing my new piano tuning trade on my friend’s and family’s pianos. This was a very exciting time in my piano tuning career and I spent most of my days tuning pianos and dreaming about what I wanted to do in the fascinating piano tuning industry.
Making Money as a Piano Tuner
After a while I was charging my clients an average of $125 a piano tuning and tuning about 3 pianos a day. It was still taking me about 3 hours to tune a piano but I enjoyed the work so I did not mind. I am now down to about an hour and 45 minutes and can tune about 5 pianos a day (as long as they are not in multiple cities). Up until taking the position at The Piano Technician Academy, I was working 5 to 6 days a week. This provided me and my family with a great income and a flexible schedule.
Happy With My Decision to Go To Piano Tuning School
I cannot tell you how great it feels to know that I learned the “right way” to tune a piano. It has been such a blessing to know that I was properly trained for my career and that although being a piano tuner is not always predictable, it is manageable (and fun!). My business has grown from a piano tuning and repair service into a used piano store and a position at The Piano Technician Academy. I have personally contributed to the lessons and learning materials at our piano tuning school and I can honestly tell you, you wont be unhappy with the material or the quality of the piano tuning course we offer.
