About Scott “The Piano Guy” Houston:
Scott “The Piano Guy” Houston says he can teach anyone
how to play piano like a professional in a matter of hours - not
years!
In 2003, Houston began showing public television viewers how to
“play piano
in a flash” through his wildly successful pledge special of
the same name.
Seen by millions of viewers nationwide since debuting in March 2003,
Play
Piano In A Flash has been a terrific fundraising vehicle for stations
carrying the program. Among the highest-grossing pledge specials
in public
television history, stations to date have raised more than $14 million.
The Piano Guy with Scott Houston weekly television series is now
in its third year airing on public television stations. The series
covers over 90% of the TV households in the country on a weekly
basis. Shot in high definition, the show continues to delight, inform
and entertain thousands of viewers nationwide. Brand new Season
7 episodes will be released in March of 2007. Currently sponsored
by Pearl River, Roland, NAMM and Pianobench.com, The Piano Guy show
has also been supported by Steinway, Yamaha, QRS, BOSE, and The
American Music Conference in the recent past.
A highly sought-after motivational speaker, Houston has lectured
widely throughout the United States and Canada at nearly 150 colleges,
universities and public television stations over the last ten years.
More than 15,000 people have attended Houston’s workshops,
many of whom have realized their life-long musical dream of having
fun playing their favorite tunes on the piano. Aimed at non-accomplished
musicians, Houston’s highly comedic, yet extremely educational
look at playing the piano is a hit with attendees.
A popular teacher who offers several seminars each year, Houston
has also taken the publishing world by storm. Inspiring and humorous,
Houston’s book, Play Piano In A Flash (Hyperion, $12.95, ISBN
1-4013-0766-3), provides readers with a comprehensive guide to learning
the fundamentals of piano while forcing them to have fun along the
way. Originally self-published by Houston, the book now has more
than 250,000 copies in print. Play Piano In A Flash for Kids (Hyperion,
$12.95, ISBN 1-4013-0863-5) was released in 2006, and his newest
book, The Next Step, Moving Forward With A Creative Style Approach
To Playing Piano or Keyboard has just been released! Scott also
writes a monthly column for Making Music, and has been featured
in Indianapolis Monthly, Ohio Monthly and Men’s Health magazine.
Numerous visits on Good Morning America, PBS and Breakfast Television
have made Scott a familiar face on television. Some of Scott’s
on-demand videos are featured on Google Video, Comcast Cable’s
On Demand service, Akimbo’s Internet video network, TotalVid,
YouTube, and MySpace.
Houston is an experienced music professional with more than 20 years
in the business. A trained percussionist, Houston studied jazz at
the Indiana University School of Music. Houston then spent five
years as president of a music publishing business, and played keyboards
and percussion in rock, funk and jazz ensembles. He began exploring
effective means to teach adult, non-musicians how to simply have
fun playing piano in 1997.
