Piano Tastings Ep. 13: Interview with Randy Potter

Randy Potter is the founder and instructor for the world's largest online and home study school for piano tuning and technical work.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a PTG-MARC conference. PTG stands for Piano Technicians Guild, and MARC stands for Mid-Atlantic Regional Convention. PTG supports the training and continuing education for folks who tune, repair, rebuild, and work on other technical aspects of acoustic pianos. It was a great opportunity to meet some legendary people in the piano technician world!

Randy Potter is the founder and instructor for the world's largest online and home study school for piano tuning and technical work. In this interview, Randy shares how he got started developing his course, which has trained students in over 90 countries around the world. We talk about the benefits of studying from home (and the significant cost savings over brick-and-mortar school tuition); the current state of the acoustic piano industry; and the benefits for piano tuners and technicians to learn to play the piano themselves.
