Learn the skill. Master the craft. Build a business of your own — The Apex Way.
What If This Became Your New Skill… Your New Business… Your New Future?
Get hands-on, learn the fundamentals, and discover if piano tuning is right for you.
Apex Bootcamp
Imagine having a hands-on skill that people genuinely need—and the ability to turn that skill into a flexible business of your own. Piano tuning can be more than something interesting to learn. It can become a profession, a business, and a path toward becoming a Certified Master Piano Technician.
You don’t have to figure it all out today. You just have to decide where you want to start.
Want to see where this could take you?
The Apex path goes far beyond learning to tune a piano. You’ll discover how technicians develop skills in tuning, repair, regulation and voicing, earn certification, serve real clients, and ultimately build a professional piano service business of their own.
In the free Apex webinar, Eric walks you through the entire journey—from beginner to professional technician—including the training, certification path, business opportunity, and how the Apex VIP Mentorship helps you get there.
THEY STARTED WHERE YOU ARE
Different backgrounds. Different goals. Different stories. They all started by learning one new skill. See where it took them—and imagine where it could take you.
FROM UNCERTAIN TO $50K IN HIS FIRST YEAR
TJ was living with friends and trying to figure out what came next. He decided to learn a valuable new skill and give piano tuning a real shot. After joining Apex, TJ learned to tune, built his first website, and started finding customers. In his first year, his new piano tuning business generated $50,000. Today, he runs Oak & Ivory Piano Co. and continues growing his business.
Every technician has a first piano, a first customer, and a first year. Your story has to start somewhere too.
A NEW SKILL. A NEW BUSINESS. A NEW FUTURE.
Joe was a young family man working a typical 9-to-5 when he started wondering if there could be something more. He began learning piano technology through Apex and built his business one step at a time. Within two years, Joe was earning $5,000+ per month from tuning and sold more than $25,000 in piano regulation work during May and June 2025 alone.
What started as learning a new skill became a growing business—and a completely new direction for his future.
SHE STARTED AT 20. LOOK WHERE IT TOOK HER.
At just 20 years old, Corinna was waiting tables and searching for a direction that could lead somewhere bigger. She took a chance on learning piano technology, joined Apex, and began building Greenway Piano Tuning from the ground up. She learned the technical skills, created her website, marketed her services, and steadily built her clientele. Today, she tunes for recording studios and professional clients and has even worked as a piano technician for Middle Tennessee State University.
Corinna didn’t start with a piano business or years of experience. She started with a decision to learn—and built a career from there.
HE DIDN'T START OVER. HE ADDED ONE SKILL.
Emerson was already a successful music educator when he saw another possibility: what if he could add professional piano tuning to the skills he already had? Through Apex, he learned the craft and added piano service to his existing business. Today, Emerson routinely generates $600 days tuning pianos, creating another valuable source of income while continuing the work he already loves.
Sometimes building a better future doesn’t mean starting over. It simply means adding the right skill.

Meet Your Mentor - Eric Roberts
I didn’t set out to become a piano technician. I was a musician, music educator, and worship leader who simply discovered an opportunity that changed the direction of my life.
More than 18 years later, piano technology has taken me places I never imagined. I’ve had the privilege of working with world-class artists, musicians, studios, and producers in Nashville, including projects involving Harry Connick Jr., John Legend, Tony Bennett, Idina Menzel, Billy Ray Cyrus, Kip Moore, Orville Peck, and many others. I also work with award-winning Nashville producers including Jay Joyce and Gena Johnson.
I hold a BA in Music Education and am a Certified Master Piano Technician, but the accomplishment I value most is the life this profession has allowed me to build.
I get to work around music and musicians, run my own business, continue making music myself, and still have the flexibility to be present with my wife and son. I don’t have to choose between doing meaningful work and having time for the people and things I love.
And that’s a huge part of why I created Apex.
I don’t want to simply hand you a collection of videos and wish you luck. I want to help you actually become a piano technician. I’ll teach you the methods I use in the field, help you develop your skills, answer your questions, and show you what I’ve learned about turning those skills into a real business.
You may be starting from a completely different place than I did—and your dream may look different from mine. That’s okay.
My job is to help you take what may feel like a distant dream today and turn it into a skill, a profession, and potentially a whole new chapter of your life.
Success is within reach. I’ll help you find the path
"The very first time Eric Roberts worked on my piano I could tell he’s the best. More than just a master tuner and technician - he makes my piano sing. Eric has an undefinable musical gift and is able to make any instrument better just by giving it his unique attention. I’ve played on several pianos he worked on in other studios and the difference he made in them is undeniable."
Michael Webb, Pianist for Hank Williams Jr.
