The following are some comments received from former students who have attended the Minnesota School
of Piano Technology:
"My experience at the Minnesota School of Piano Technology has been nothing but positive.
I appreciate the time and care taken in preparing and organizing the curriculum. Every effort has been made to instruct and
prepare the student to the realities of the piano technology business and all that is involved. Before entering the class,
I thought tuning a piano was somehow separate or apart from the maintenance and repair aspect of the business - boy, was I
wrong! I think the class is excellent and I have enjoyed it very much."

a strong, basic knowledge of the various aspects of tuning, regulating and repair. It has been a wonderful experience!"
"I very much enjoyed this piano course. The instructor was very knowledgeable. There was
always something new and my interest was usually kept. My questions were answered thoroughly. Class started on time and ended
punctually. I would recommend this class to others and would definitely give a high-mark reference if asked."

very good information. I would recommend the class to anyone. The instructor's enthusiasm for pianos made the course especially
enjoyable."
