Hi. My name is Mark Cerisano, and I teach people how to tune and repair pianos.
I have been tuning and repairing pianos since 2000.
Shortly after getting my Registered Piano Technicians certificate from the Piano Technicians Guild, I began showing people how to tune and repair pianos themselves, to help them save money servicing their own piano or to begin a new career in piano technology.
What I found immediately was that some of the conventional methods I was using were poor and vague and did not help my students get good results fast enough.
That frustration started me on the path to find a better way to tune pianos by ear.
With professional work experience as a mechanical engineer, public school music teacher, and professional musician, I was able to use these skills to create and develop the
Go A.P.E. Aural Piano Tuning System.
A.P.E. stands for Accuracy, Precision, and Efficiency.
This is the same exact system I use to tune all my customers pianos today. Since developing this system, my tunings have skyrocketed in quality and my frustration has plummeted.
I recommend this method for all my students.
Mark
