Film: Lucas: An Endangered Human Species

Directed by: Éli Laliberté

Length: 87 minutes

Film Description: In Canada, prenatal screening to detect Down syndrome is offered to all expectant mothers. Since the government program was rolled out in Quebec in 2010, approximately 95% of pregnancies in which Down syndrome was detected have been terminated. As the father of a young man with Down syndrome, documentary filmmaker Éli Laliberté Should we be imagining a world without Down syndrome?” In addition to trying to find an answer to his question, this film is a behind-the-curtain look at the universe of Down syndrome. Beyond introducing viewers to extraordinary human beings around the world and their contributions to humankind, the documentary is full of love, compassion and humor, and raises a valid question about the value of human life, one without a straightforward answer.

While the overall job market for piano tuners in the US is expected to decline, there's still a demand for their services, especially due to the aging technician population and the need to replace retiring workers. CareerExplorer says the job market is expected to shrink by -10.0% between 2022 and 2032, but this doesn't mean there isn't work to be found. Many technicians are nearing retirement, and there's a need to train new individuals to fill those positions. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here's a more detailed look:
Factors Contributing to Demand:

• Aging Technician Workforce: A significant portion of piano technicians are older, and many are expected to retire in the coming years, creating openings for new technicians. [1, 4]
• High Number of Pianos: Despite a decrease in piano sales, there are still a large number of pianos in homes, schools, and performance venues that require regular tuning and maintenance. [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
• Specialized Skillset: Piano tuning and repair are specialized skills that require training and experience, making it a field where demand can outpace the supply of qualified technicians. [3, 8]
• Flexibility and Independence: Many piano technicians are self-employed, offering a flexible work schedule and local travel, which appeals to some individuals. [9, 10]

Challenges and Considerations:

• Digital Pianos: The rise of digital pianos has impacted the demand for acoustic piano services, but there's still a market for tuning and repairing both types of instruments. [5, 8]
• Marketing and Business Development: Piano technicians need to be able to market their services and manage their own businesses, which can be a challenge for some. [10, 11, 12, 13]
• Initial Investment: Training and acquiring the necessary tools for piano tuning can require a significant initial investment. [3, 14]

Overall, while the overall job market for piano tuners may be shrinking, there is still a demand for qualified technicians, especially those willing to learn and adapt to the evolving needs of the industry. [1, 3, 8]

I like this one. The Piano Gal's method of tuning is just as thorough as my technique.
