Getting started...

The PTG sent me a list of resources on a "Piano Technology Education and
Training list (thanks to them, by the way, for that :) ).  I've started
getting information from some of these places, and I would appreciate
any helpful comments some of you experiences technicians might be able to
make -- what are some good ways to get started?
      The booklet from the North Bennet Street School looked really
great, romantic even <G>... but coming up with $10,000 plus living
expenses for a year would be a real challenge.
      The material from the Randy Potter School, correspondence course
seems pretty persuasive; and of course it's a lot easier to pay for.
Could a person *really* be a practicing, client-pleasing technician,
ready to attain professional credentials, after using this course?
      I'm still waiting for some other places to send information, but
in the meantime, what advice could you give to someone interested in
learning the craft?


Thanks,
