Finally! Learn How to Tune a Piano
Without Breaking the Bank!

For years now we've been teaching the highly accurate, precise, and efficient Go A.P.E. System through the International Piano Technicians School (See IPTS.online) using expensive one-on-one private lessons. These lessons are very effective for two reasons. 1) We use an evaluation system that is easy to understand and helps students know exactly how and where to improve, and 2) students get live feedback and answers to their questions.

Now, we have finally created a new course that does the exact same thing and costs one-quarter the price!

Why are we doing this?

For years, we have been accepting students who have gone through other online piano tuning programs and say, "I took those other courses and scored high on the quizzes, but I still can't tune a piano!"

They were so upset, and so were we, that we said, "Enough is enough! We've got to help more people learn how to tune pianos!" So that's why we created our new course. Introducing. . .

The All New Piano Tuning Videos Series Course with Personalized Feedback!

You get the exact same training as our more expensive Mentor Program but you do not have to attend fixed online private lessons that have to happen at the same time each week.

Get access to all the videos, exercises, quizzes, and articles that explain exactly how we've trained hundreds of professional piano technicians in the past.

Get access to the same training resources that our private students have for a full two years instead of only one year like most other online piano tuning courses.

The vast majority of our students finish the course in one year but the amazing thing is, because you don't have to wait a full week to get your assignments marked, you can actually finish the course in much less time than most students and we are excited to see people doing exactly that in our new piano tuning video series course with personalize feedback.

How Do We Do It?

Watching videos, reading articles, doing exercises, and taking quizzes aren't much different than what all those other courses have. So how is it we have been able to train people to get and keep concert level customers like concert halls, music festivals, and professional musicians?

Bandpass Filters!

Simply stated, bandpass filters allow you to hear exactly what professional concert level technicians hear, and when you can hear what they hear, tuning a piano to a high level is a piece of cake.

Most other courses use electronic tuning devices (called ETDs) to measure a tuning, if they use anything at all. ETDs have errors in them and anyway, they only measure frequency. We do not listen to frequencies when we tune a piano so why would we measure them? We listen to intervals and that's what we measure at IPTS.

Bandpass filters allow us to precisely measure intervals and score your assignments accurately. We filter the intervals so you can hear where you can improve.

We've learned that if we show the student what their tunings sound like, they are more motivated and excited to improve and they learn to improve on their own.

The Go A.P.E. System

It is so difficult to wade through all the information out there on how to tune a piano. At IPTS, we did the work for you.

We've identified all the tried and true techniques that all the masters use and developed a few of our own that making learning even easier, and we call our system the Go A.P.E. System for more Accurate, Precise, and Efficient tunings.

Here is just one example of the common instructions that don't work given to beginners by other schools. They say things like "P4 beat wide at 1 beat per second" or "P5 beat narrow at 3 beats in 5 seconds." These are not helpful because it's impossible to set beat rates to these speeds and P4 don't beat at 1 bps for example. They beat between 0.8 bps and 1.2 bps and that's just in the middle octave! The errors of just that one assumption are huge and result in beginners getting confused when their tunings don't sound right. If you want to learn how to tune a piano you can't be guessing.

That's where Go APE shines. You will learn how to measure the specific piano so that the steps you take to tune it will be the correct ones for that specific piano. When you do that, you make less mistakes, and piano tuning becomes a joy instead of a frustration. We've seen it. We've been there.

Unisons, Unisons, Unisons. 

Just like the famous real estate quote for the three most important elements of a real estate property (location, location, location), the three most important elements of a tuning are Unisons, Unisons, Unisons.

We train you how to get rock solid unisons with superior stability so those unisons stay in tune longer!

We do that by teaching you how to use double string unison (DSU) and non-speaking length (NSL) tension analysis. With these two techniques alone, we've seen students get and keep concert pianists as customers and get all their students as customers as well, even tuning with only an ETD.. That's how important unisons are to your customers.
