Peter Acronico Bio
The piano is simply my passion! With unbridled dedication, I strive to achieve the highest level of craftsmanship, service, and mentoring. It is an honor for me to direct the Institute of Piano Technology at Las Positas College, the only scholastic, in-person and immersive program on the West Coast.
About The LPC Institute of Piano Technology
Through firsthand training on our All-Steinway School fleet of pianos, diligent students will learn how to tune, voice, regulate, and perform the necessary repairs to become a competent and successful Piano Technician! Peter Acronico, RPT, distinguished in his field, leads this Certificate Program. The class requires students to practice consistently and research the various aspects of the Trade with videos and suggested reading at the core of the Program. Materials and tools for in-class work are provided, but students are encouraged to build their own “tool bag” as they perform work out in the field.
A full or part-time technician can make a respectable and flexible living while engaging in a career of passion for people, music, and pianos.

More biography:
By passing examinations offered by the Piano Technicians Guild, I enjoy the esteemed title of Registered Piano Technician and specialize in servicing fine pianos. I have attended intensive training seminars at the Steinway & Sons factory in New York, Oberlin Music Conservatory in Ohio, and The Renner Academy in Arizona and continue to attend national conventions and state conferences.
Having worked for over 25 years preparing pianos for prominent clients, contributing to Steinway dealership's “retail shape” and warranty requests, and servicing concert instruments for Steinway’s Concert & Artists Division, I earned the recognition as a premiere concert piano technician. Through my business, The Avid Piano Tech, I specialize in tuning, voicing, repair, and rebuilding concert and heirloom grand piano actions. I oversee Las Positas College’s All Steinway School fleet of pianos and various concert venues throughout the Bay Area and direct LPC Institute of Piano Technology. My passion for work led me to pursue “all things "piano related” and I now enjoy walking while discovering photo opportunities, playing the piano, and creating educational videos under the alias The Avid Piano Technician. Oh, and I love playing “bad golf.”
