Under the guidance and supervision of experienced piano technicians, a limited number of apprentices practice their craft by tending to over 70 Steinway pianos on the Tanglewood grounds, all of which are subject to frequent use by students, faculty, and guest artists.

This program was established to provide technicians with hands-on experience in both concert work and general maintenance. Working side by side with the resident senior piano technician, Stephen Carver, apprentices have the chance to expand on their technical abilities, decision-making skills, and confidence, as well as gain an understanding of the role piano technicians play in the concert world. The opportunities Tanglewood offers for interacting with world-class professionals and students provides insights into the instrument that are not easily gained elsewhere.

Individuals interested in these apprentice positions should NOT apply online. Instead, please contact Tanglewood Senior Piano Technician Stephen Carver at scarver@juilliard.edu.
