Lessons on more advanced piano tuning techniques and strategies. We are also minimizing the use of a digital tuning meter.

Requirements for acceptance to take the course

1. The candidate must first complete the “Beginners Course” before being considered as a candidate for the “Intermediate Course”.
2. Candidates for the “Intermediate Course” will certainly be required to take a “Hands-on Entrance Examination” with a fee of ฿3,000.
3. During the “Hands-on Examination”, candidates must first demonstrate that they can tune a piano within 3 hours. In addition, the quality of piano tuning must also pass the standard set by the instructor.

Only the instructor can decide regarding your acceptance to the “Intermediate Course”. Therefore, we strongly advise candidates to be well-prepared before taking the “Hands-on Entrance Examination”.
