In 2021 I started recording my online repair and regulation class videos. We went for about a year and a half, one hour a week, and we covered everything I could think of that a new piano technician would need to know in order to service all their customers' pianos and expand their revenue potential.

The idea was that I would create a professional looking set of recorded class videos for people to purchase who needed to know this stuff.

I didn't realize how daunting the task would be but I've committed myself to this project and will see it through to the end.

I am editing all the class videos so they are concise and to the point and in some cases I am editing the actual content to make it more accurate.

This is resulting in some classes going from 60 minutes to 20 minutes which is great because I wouldn't want to think of people scrolling through 40 minutes of the boring stuff!

I am also going through each class and creating specific quiz questions just for that class so people can watch the video and then get tested on the subject matter to see if they really understood what was presented.

The idea is that after you watch all the videos and take all the quizzes including the final exam, you will be certified as a Piano Technician (PTe) with the International Piano Technicians School, iPTS.

Each class has its own notes PDF if needed, the video link, and a quiz link.

Here are some FREE classes that I think you will find very interesting.

Watch them and take the quiz to see how well you understand the material.
