From Struggling Musician to Thriving Piano Tuner: My Story

Hello, I’m Spencer LeVon, I help musicians and piano teachers change their financial lives by teaching the timeless trade of piano tuning and repair.

 

For years, I lived the “starving musician” cliché—teaching piano by day and performing with my band by night. To support my passion, I juggled temp jobs, worked exhausting night shifts in factories and restaurants, and still barely scraping by. I was burnt out, anxious, and unfulfilled. Deep down, I knew I needed a way out, but I couldn’t give up on my dream of building a career in music.

That’s when I discovered piano tuning—a skill my dad had casually introduced to me. What began as a side interest quickly evolved into a life-changing opportunity. Using free, industry-standard software on my phone, I learned the skill without breaking the bank. With a small investment in tools, I turned my musical network, skills, and passion into a thriving career. Piano tuning gave me financial stability and the freedom to keep music at the heart of my life.

Over the years, I studied Audio Engineering at Seneca College and trained with world-class piano manufacturers like Steinway, Yamaha, and Kawai. Today, I own PianoTuners.ca, one of Canada’s most trusted piano tuning companies, working with clients ranging from local families to major productions for Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, Apple Music, and the BBC. It’s been an incredible journey, filled with opportunities I never imagined—movie sets, concert halls, and a castle!

Now, I’m on a mission to help others experience the same breakthrough.

I know the struggles musicians face, and I want to make piano tuning accessible to anyone willing to learn. Whether you want to tune your own piano or start a business, piano tuning offers a career with flexibility, low overhead, and high demand. Together, we’ll build your confidence, take control of your financial future, and most importantly, enjoy the process.

Tunefully yours,

Spencer LeVon
