Committed to the future generation...
Jenkin Piano Service has over the last 20 years trained five New Zealand tuner technicians and is currently the only place in New Zealand that provides a structured apprenticeship programme for piano tuners and technicians.
We assisted the Australasian Piano Tuners and Technicians Guild with writing a comprehensive training scheme and David continues to act for the APTTA in finding support and funding for piano tuner training in Australia and New Zealand.
Steinway Hamburg has twice permitted their apprentices to complete the workplace experience component of their training with us.
Benjamin Taylor
Benjamin is Jenkin Piano’s sixth trainee. He is an accomplished, classically-trained, pianist and singer who began his apprenticeship in 2010 after studying for a music degree at the University of Auckland.
Prior to joining Jenkin Piano, Benjamin worked part-time for the Auckland School of Music as a concert manager. He also has experience in set building for operatic productions.
Benjamin was attracted to the piano tuning profession because he saw it as a practical application of his musical interests.
