Qualification Description
This qualification is for those who tune, maintain and make basic repairs on acoustic upright and grand pianos.
There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification; however, people commencing this qualification must have a good understanding of sound frequencies, the harmonic relationship between pitches, and the use of dynamics in music. In most cases this is achieved through instrumental and music theory learning.
Workers with this qualification service home, studio and performance pianos. They understand factors such as movement, temperature, humidity and patterns of use that affect piano condition and provide solutions and advice to clients for routine and non-routine problems. Many operate as sole traders.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
