Hello everyone, my name is Emiliano, I am 39 years old and I am from Turin.
I approached the world of the piano some time ago and I would like to be able to work in this fantastic world.
I am attending a workshop to acquire the theoretical/practical concepts regarding tuning, but unfortunately my job, which has nothing to do with this sector, only gives me the possibility to plan this path in my spare time and on weekends.
Is there any possibility for someone like me, who is approaching this world, to undertake a training course here or abroad that is then professionally recognized?
I thank everyone in advance for your contributions and I wish everyone good work and good music!!!!
You can contact the Randy Potter School of Piano Technology that you will find online. Randy is an expert and has structured an effective correspondence school. Then you can contact AIARP within EUROPIANO, which organizes courses. I also recommend the book by REBLITZ, which also discusses tuning. The book by our friend Bettin is also very well argued. Tuning is difficult regardless, and one must experiment a lot. My friend, Tuner and Teacher Riccardo Orsini, used to say to me, 'boy, try tuning... and after 1000 pianos, a result would be heard!!' When Rubinstein was in Rome, he only wanted him!!!! Starting to listen to the beats and the differences in descending and ascending intervals is already a good thing. In REBLITZ there are exercises that help evaluate the speed of the beats. Learn from the very beginning to also develop a sensitive "manual dexterity" in handling the key. In short, a beautiful and complex world. Good luck with your work
thank you for your extremely valuable contribution.
I will take this opportunity to compliment you on your activity and, from what I have been able to observe during these months of frequenting the forum, for the commitment you put into transmitting your knowledge.
I will certainly treasure your indications by putting myself to work as much as possible.
