People frequently ask me how I got started as a piano technician. It’s a bit out of the ordinary. Well, when I was nine, a neighbor showed me how to play something on his piano. It involved playing with knuckles. I told my mom about it and BOOM! She went to a piano store and bought a piano on credit. So happens, there was a delightful lady just down the street who taught piano. It was walking distance. I guess the stars were aligned.

People frequently ask me how I got started as a piano technician. It’s a bit out of the ordinary. Well, when I was nine, a neighbor showed me how to play something on his piano. It involved playing with knuckles. I told my mom about it and BOOM! She went to a piano store and bought a piano on credit. So happens, there was a delightful lady just down the street who taught piano. It was walking distance. I guess the stars were aligned. I suppose, being a boy, it is no surprise that after the “new” wore off a few months later, I wanted to quit. My mom explained to me the payment plan she had contracted to with the store and that she was obligated to pay every month for five years before the piano would be completely paid off in full. I was going to continue with my lessons, she scolded, until she had finished paying of the loan. So then I had been beat. It was like school, math, science, etc.... oh now add piano. Okay. Quickly I accepted this reality and unlike school, once again I enjoyed playing, practicing no so much, but just playing what I knew. Mom would have the egg timer set at thirty minutes per day. She would be in the front room watching her soaps but she knew what I was working on and if she heard me playing some piece I’d already learned she would come around the corner and call me on it. “Your not practicing” she would say. “This is time for you to work on the new pieces”. Five years went by, the piano was paid off, and I couldn’t imagine quitting at that point. I would talk to the piano tuner when he was there and ask him lots of questions. He was very nice and told me of all the popular piano players he had tuned for at the Charlotte Coliseum. I remember telling my mom that when I grew up, I wanted to be a piano tuner. I also remember telling her I wanted to be a garbage man as that looked like a really cool job. After high school, I enrolled at CPCC in their performing arts program, certain I would learn what it took to be the nest Billy Joel. It was very difficult, a brutal awakening, yet I struggled on and did fairly well. Along the way I happened to meet some other students in the music building who were enrolled in the piano tuning and repair program. It was then that I decided what I loved, (piano), and what I was really well adapted to, (engineering and mechanical adaptations) had met a perfect cross roads. As I had no clear direction forward as a working musician I took the fork in the road and enrolled in the Piano Tuning nd repair p
