North Bennet Street School originally shared:

Master piano technician Eric Schandall, former North Bennett School employee and student, is profiled in this Oberlin College story. Since his very first job with NBSS in 1967, Eric has worked exclusively as a piano technician, including serving as Administrator of Technical Training and Education at Steinway, a fact he attributes to his “singular lack of imagination.”
“When you’re deciding what you’re going to do in life, you need to pay attention to what life wants you to do and what doors open up for you,” he says. “I’ve just been fortunate that doors opened for me.” #skilledtrades #music #arts #pianotuning

At @NBSSboston Accomplished PIANO Technician Emily Townsend teaches PIANO TUNING at one of only two schools in North America where you can learn the craft, North Bennet Street School @NBSSboston which also happens to be America’s oldest vocational school.
At @NBSSboston you can learn to make jewelry and violins, you can learn carpentry, and you can learn half a dozen other livelihoods.
But for these 16 students, PIANO TUNING was the attraction, and they will spend the next one to two years perfecting their new craft.
