Next Online Piano Tuning Course

Hello,

Firstly, I would like to thank the 42 people who have subscribed to my website as of today. We're not many but it's still nice to know that some people think the videos and articles I am creating are useful. I have set the times for my next online piano tuning course over Google Hangout. I have one student from California and we are looking for others. Here are the dates and times (Atlantic Daylight Time UTC-3): Mondays to Fridays, two hours per day. Starting Monday, October 20th, 2014 Last class Friday, November 1st, 2014. (Two weeks, 10 days) Times (ADT UTC-3h): Monday to Thursday inclusive: 6:30am to 8:30am Fridays: 9:00am to 11:00am Cost is $497USD for 20 hours of instruction. (Regular $800) This works out to less than $25 per hour. The course discusses many issues including, but not limited to: - Aural tuning - Stability - Tuning octaves by ear - Tuning unisons by ear - Theory of octave sizes - Forces, Friction, and elastic deFormation of the tuning pin and string. (The three F's) - Step by step tuning procedures - Bisecting window temperament sequences - Double string tuning method - Technological aids to learning piano tuning (ETD's, Audacity, Soundbeam, band pass filters, etc) The course is organized so that each day you get a short lecture on a tuning procedure, and then you will practice that procedure, while I may be watching or available for questions. The default progression of the course is to start tuning a piano and go from A to Z, ending with a finished tuning. However, because of the variation in skill levels, we will often customize each person's course to those subjects, topics, and skills that they are more interested in, individually. In this way, the course progresses much like a private lesson, even if there are multiple people signed up. You you are interested in this course or anything other instruction, please Contact Me. Hope to see you online. Mark
