In 2027, we want to craft a more thoughtful and balanced program of classes, suitable for all skill levels. The Institute Team would like to suggest a few things to potential instructors to help us achieve that!
1) PT 101 is a new category of classes designed to provide a foundational program for new technicians to learn the ropes. Any topic - such as voicing, tuning, etc - may fall within this category, so long as it is truly for beginners. We REALLY want to see your submissions for this category!
2) Health & Wellness - Part of being a Well-Tempered Technician is taking care of yourself, whether that's physically or mentally. We'd love to see your submissions for this category, especially if you have professional training within the subject. You don't even have to be a piano technician to submit a class!
3) Something we've never seen before - Classes from well-known instructors are often repeated over the years. This has incredible value, but we want to freshen things up a bit. If you're an experienced Convention instructor, this is our challange to you - Submit something never before taught at an Annual Convention!
