I know someone in the UK who has studied that course, and after a lot of hard work and supervision in a local piano restorer's workshop, he's a very decent tuner. I'm sure he'll read this, and I reckon that his dedication to learn had more to do with his level of achievement than the course itself.A440 wrote:Out of interest, would you be interested in an open university style postal course? There is one in the states (Randy Potter!). I wonder if it would work here?

There is lots of good stuff out there no need to reinvent the wheel just needs de-Americanizing However, all the big sellers of distance learning in the US will tell they only work well with a good mentor and that is the problem in the UK As Gill pointed out just one problem " lever control "A440 wrote:So how about a correspondence course in piano MIT in the UK?. Using modern methods distance learning has come of age with the ability to download coursework and send recorded work over the net.
Who would be interested in building a course?
There are lots of people with lots of piano knowledge out there. In20-30 years time there may be very few people skilled in our field unless we make provision for the future. It's only a thought...what d'ya think?
