Covid-19 Update
​

I am working and booking new appointments.  
 
I have put in place the following work protocols for the protection of everyone during this unique time.  I am expecting this will be the new normal for a while.

1.  I will take my temperature before each appointment.  I will cancel the appointment if I have any symptoms.  I can easily cancel the appointment if anyone in the customer's home develops symptoms. 

2.  The piano room should be vacant, with everything cleared from
the piano.

3.  I will wear a mask and use gloves before I arrive.  
 
4.  I will place my tools and bag on a laundered sheet.  

5.  I will clean and disinfectant the keys, benchtop and any case parts I need to touch.   Here is a link for additional information regarding cleaning the piano.

6.  After completing the work, I will clean and disinfect the keys once more. 

7.  I accept e-transfer payments, or a cheque can be left on top of the piano.  I will send the receipt as a pdf document via email.




I operate my own piano service business in Saskatoon. I tune, voice, regulate, repair, and appraise pianos. I have received additional training in concert level tuning, voicing, and regulating from Roger Jolly. Mr. Jolly is an internationally known piano technician who recently was Director of Product Development and Vice President of Samick Music Corporation. He has lectured world wide at many Piano Technician conventions and was a recipient of the Piano Technicians Guild's Jack W. Greenfield Award for exceptional contributions to the piano technology industry.
​
Before my career as a piano technician, I was a band director for six years. I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Music in Music Education and a Bachelor of Arts. I also obtained my Associateship with the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto(A.R.C.T.) Life long learning is essential to me and I strive to improve my skills and understanding in my profession. I belong to the Piano Technician's Guild. I regularly attend conventions held by these organizations, and have also contributed by teaching piano technology.
