How to Tune Pianos

The Hobby, Skill, and Career of Piano Tuning

By Mark Cerisano

Probably the most important course of them all!

Piano tuners do not listen the same way musicians do. We have to zoom in on specific frequencies, filtering out unwanted frequencies, in order to get specific information on what size intervals we are tuning and what size intervals we should be tuning.

Focussing on these frequencies actually builds brain mass. It actually changes the brain.

So What Can We Conclude From This?

Just looking at the data, it seems that we can conclude the following things:

  1. The more time spent practicing the skill of aural tuning, the more change there will be in the brain.
  2. If you want to be able to hear beats easily, you need to start NOW to train your ear to hear them!

If all we had was the data, there may be room for debate, but the experience of aural tuners confirms this:

“When I started aural tuning, it was hard to hear the beats. Now it’s easy.”

But don’t just think that this course will only improve your piano tuner’s ear. Look at all the other skills and knowledge you will gain by taking this course!

  • Improve Your Piano Tuner’s Ear
    Well, ya, we already said that. But just know that once your ear improves, you will be able to easily hear any partial beating in an interval. (We’re not talking dog hearing here, just the partials that we used to tune pianos.)
  • Get Feedback With Online Tests
    The online web apps will score your results so you can see your hearing improve.
  • Know What the Beats Sound Like
    Web apps use filtered beat speeds for easy exercises. This shows you what the beats sound like so you know what to listen for when at the piano.
  • Understand the Theory – Know Where the Beats Occur
    The web apps use specific procedures in the piano tuning process and show you where the beats occur. There is also a discussion of why the beats occur where they do.

Knowing Where the Beats Occur and What They Sound Like, Fast Tracks the Learning Process and Gets the Ear Trained As Fast As Possible!
