"I am a woman who took your course 15 years ago. It has been a wonderful occupation for me.  I am my own boss, choose my own hours, and experience no  stress at all in the piano work.  Best of all, it takes me only one hour to tune a piano for which I get paid a fee of $75.00. The course pays for itself in about 6 or 7 piano tunings.  Thank you for an opportunity that has made a real  difference in my life."
