Scott Houston

Scott Houston is an Indianapolis-based piano player and teacher who hosts the PBS series "The Piano Guy."

"The Piano Guy"

"The Piano Guy" is a half-hour instructional television series broadcast on PBS, PBS HD, and public broadcasting stations across the country. The show has received two Emmy Awards, and has produced over 100 episodes. It offers demonstrations and advice on playing piano informally at various skill levels, with an emphasis on the fun of playing familiar tunes.

Often, a guest performer is invited to show how they perform a well-known song. Building the interpretation of the song from its melody and chord structure, which can often be found from a lead sheet, the guest will demonstrate different techniques and improvisations that add their own artistic influences onto their cover of the song. Each segment with a guest performer ends with their performance of the song.
