How It Works
A Modern Apprenticeship.
At Scale.
01
Listen Daily
Each episode is ~15 minutes — built for your morning commute, lunch break, or workshop time. One concept per day. No skipping ahead.
02
Train Your Ear
Every lesson includes listening exercises. You develop pitch memory, interval recognition, and the internalized reference points all great technicians carry.
03
Touch the Piano
By Episode 88 you'll have the aural and technical vocabulary to sit at a piano and start tuning. The podcast gets you there. Your hands finish the job.
The 88-Lesson Arc
Six Phases. One Craft.
The curriculum is sequenced the way a master tuner would teach an apprentice — ear first, mechanics second, artistry last.
Phase 1 · Ep. 1–15
Awakening the Ear
Pure listening. Silence, overtones, the harmonic series. You learn to hear what you've been ignoring your entire life.
Phase 2 · Ep. 16–30
Interval Recognition
Octaves, fifths, fourths. The mathematical structure of sound. How intervals beat — and why that beating is the tuner's compass.
Phase 3 · Ep. 31–44
Equal Temperament
The compromise that makes Western music possible. Why every interval except the octave is slightly wrong — and why that's exactly right.
Phase 4 · Ep. 45–60
Tuning Workflow
Temperament octave. Unisons. Pitch raises. The practical sequence every piano technician follows — and why order matters.
Phase 5 · Ep. 61–75
Craft & Professionalism
How to work. How to listen. How to handle a piano that fights you. The habits that separate technicians from tuners.
Phase 6 · Ep. 76–88
Advanced Concepts
Inharmonicity. Stretch tuning. Historical temperaments. Where aural tuning and artistry converge — and what mastery feels like.
