Personal profile

I started playing piano when I was four years old as I had a mom who was a very accomplished pianist. However after school I changed direction and studied accounting. I had the opportunity to enter the music business in 1985 and started learning the trade. Initially it was extremely difficult as I struggled to hear what exactly my teacher was listening to. I progressed very slowly but fortunately had the opportunity to study further with a very good piano tuner in Durban. I continued to learn and apply what I learned in practice and very hesitantly started working on my own in 1997 With the help of a number of other qualified technicians I was able to take and pass the SAPPTA exams. I also had the opportunity to attend the American PTG convention since 2012 and have regularly attended and taken some of their exams. I now have an established business employing 10 people. Although I have been in the business for many years I realize that you never stop learning and must never be afraid to ask advice. I now consult with master technicians from around the world and also train several apprentices.
