Business Strategies for Independent Piano Technicians
Presented by: Ashley Turner, RPT

From Semantics to Record Keeping : A Balanced Perspective – Ashley Turner, RPT will cover a wide range of non-technical philosophies, systems, and strategies for a satisfying career in piano technology, based on over twenty-two years experience as an independent piano technician.

We can all use a little more insight to help better navigate our businesses, our clients, and the nebulous assortment of personalities and circumstances that we inevitably encounter.
