“CIOMIT has put some serious fire in my hands. I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for bringing my career into focus.”

“I would definitely recommend CIOMIT to anyone thinking about instrument repair training. Our employee, primarily a Strings guy, went to the Brass Power Course and he can’t wait to return to learn about everything else! His training has been an asset to our shop and having him cross-trained in brass basics is super helpful when our Senior Band Instrument Repair Technician isn’t here. We highly recommend the training and the folks there are so nice and accommodating as well!”

“I have a much better understanding of how brass instruments work and what kind of repairs are possible. I feel well set up for continued learning with such a solid foundation. Getting to see how the CIOMIT shop runs was really valuable. I learned a lot just from hearing the technicians talk about the instruments they were working on and how they communicated with their customers. The lab time at the end of each day allowed me to practice on boneyard instruments, which was great for building skills without the pressure of working on instruments that were going to be playable again.”

“The course was highly beneficial. It tied off a lot of loose ends, opened the door to so much more on how to go about repair problem solving, process, how to work with materials, instruments and use tooling effectively and creatively. Excellent start to the repair trade and how to grow yourself into it. I’d highly recommend this course to anyone interested in this field of study. Instructor quality was at a high standard, enjoyable and the week went by super fast.”
