As seen on public television stations nationwide, a revolutionary new approach to playing non-classical music on the piano.
Have you ever wished you could play the piano? Well, now you can! Scott "The Piano Guy" Houston teaches you to play the way the pros play, in a style enormously simpler than traditional classical piano and with an absolute minimum of note-reading. By focusing on playing the melody with the right hand (one note at a time) and simple chords with the left hand, Houston gives you the tools you need for a lifetime of musical enjoyment. Best of all, your tour guide to this adventure forces you to have fun along the way!
Scott "The Piano Guy" Houston has been involved in the music world for over twenty years. Whether teaching music, playing professionally, or managing a music publishing company, Houston has never been far from a piano. He is currently developing a weekly television series based on this book's concept that will begin airing on public television stations nationwide in 2004. He lives in Indianapolis.
