It's similar to other online courses, but there are differences. We have lots of instructional videos like other courses. But we differ in a few ways. One obvious difference is we teach aural tuning!
Take, for example, our written exams. They do not consist of multiple-choice questions. Instead of selecting from provided options, you must answer questions in your own words. Your responses will be reviewed and assessed, and you will receive appropriate feedback.
Our aural tuning exercises are many and specific. Our emphasis is on interval relationships. We're not just going to teach you aural tuning sequences, such as a certain temperament sequence used to establish equal temperament. Why? Because you need to understand how to work with the specific piano in front of you. Pianos come in different sizes and qualities. Learning just one sequence won't be sufficient. You need to understand how to adjust the temper of the different intervals to account for inharmonicity issues on the specific piano you’re working with in order to create a clean and pleasing tuning.
And what do you do if you need guidance? You can just go to the calendar and reserve a One-on-One Zoom tutoring session. You'll have a real, live teacher to guide you! With this course, you do have to pay for each tutoring session.
Another difference is the tuition fee. Why not check other schools and compare what they offer, what we offer, and what it costs?
I invite you to click "About the Course" on the menu above and, on the drop-down menu, read the article on "Correspondence vs. Online Distance Learning. I believe you'll find it very informative. Of course if you have any questions, please give me a call. I'll be very happy to talk with you!
