Rightly said by Tom Lehrer, the keys of a piano resemble life and much like it, it needs to be tuned from time to time to get the melody in harmony. It might look like an easy job of turning a few keys and strings a little here and there but there's a lot more technicality to it than meets the eye.

"Life is like a piano. What you get out of it depends on how you play it." Rightly said by Tom Lehrer, the keys of a piano resemble life and much like it, it needs to be tuned from time to time to get the melody in harmony. It might look like an easy job of turning a few keys and strings a little here and there but there's a lot more technicality to it than meets the eye. Piano tuning training can take some time to get used to. With time and changing seasons, the notes go out of tune in a way that even a wrong note can butcher a masterpiece. So, tuning becomes all the more important at least twice a year. Here are some choices that will help you determine how much time will it take:
Casually or professionally? • If you want to learn how to tune a piano one of the important reasons is whether you want to learn for use for yourself or take it up professionally. Some people are full-time piano tuners while others are taking it up as a side hustle. • Either way, professional online tuning traditionally takes more time since a lot of details are to be covered with different types of pianos ranging up to years in comparison to when you are learning only for your piano model that can be covered well within just a year. • Self-learning or training courses? • To learn anything new, you need some reference from where you can go about it. There are resources available online to teach how to tune a piano but to learn from them takes a lot of effort and time in comparison to joining a course with a professional or in a school.
In a school course, it takes about 3 years or so to cover the details of piano tuning. If you try to learn the same thing without constant guidance and tension that you can get in an institution, it can take a few additional years to get things right. • Intensity of knowledge • Even if you are clear that you want to pursue it professionally, there are degrees of intensity minute comes to knowledge. Working with a world-renowned pianist or orchestra will ask you for way more certifications and experience than an average college student. • If you aim to be on the top in the field of piano tuning, you better be prepared for approximately 5 years of learning in the intensive courses and then gain experience.
These are the points that will most probably let you know of the time it might take you to learn piano tuning. In any case, it is a good skill to have for a musical life.
