A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Piano tuning

Piano tuning is the process of adjusting the 88 strings of a piano so that each note conforms to the 12‑tone equal temperament system, with each semitone spaced 100 cents apart. Mastering the principles of equal temperament, pitch reference, and the step‑by‑step tuning sequence is essential for achieving a balanced, harmonically stable instrument, which is a core requirement for the NUC CCMAS and NBTE exams.
