He maintains an active clientelle of private customers, churches, Houston Community College Central, and numerous organizations as well, including numerous times the Chopin International Piano Competition.
In 1997 he completed examinations with the
PIANO TECHNICIANS GUILD (PTG) to become one of a relatively small number of
Registered Piano Technicians in the Houston metro area. As a continuously active member of the PTG, he has held several chapter offices, including three years as president, presenting programs at the local, state, and national levels.
His goal- to provide the best tuning possible to each piano, whether a private client or concert artist. John Ruskin said, "There is nothing that some man cannot do or sell cheaper with less quality, and those that consider price only are this man's lawful prey".
Bartlett earned a
Masters degree in vocal performance in 1976, pursuing a full time career in church music until 1993 when he entered Houston Community College completing, in one year, a two year program in piano technology, continuing his church career on a part time basis until retiring after 38 years of choral directing.
