For more than a decade, Piano Finders has partnered with Acoustic & Digital Piano Buyer Magazine to recognize the role of piano professionals as community leaders. Piano Professionals include piano dealers, salespeople, piano teachers and career professionals employed by piano manufacturers. Each piano professional has their own way of contributing to the community and furthering the building of skills and the courage to create. The piano industry has more than a century of service in the community, with local piano professionals contributing in so many ways behind the scenes. The social connections and community participation at the local level, is a part of the piano industry and goes beyond the skills of each person’s trade or profession. Piano professionals, as a whole, have shown a commitment to preserving our history and social structures that support skill building for our present and future generations.
