I love everything you do! You present every bit of information in a fun, easy
to understand format that helps the novice as well as the master. Keep up the great
work. I love seeing all your latest projects. Thanks for everything!
J. Simon, Utah
Go Scott! Thank you for your programming. My wife and I love your
teaching methods and NOW spend hours at our piano that once stood alone!
T. DeBacker
I’m a jazz piano major at Purchase College Conservatory of Music, and I
just wanted to let you know that your program
has been revolutionary to the way I play. It’s amazing that you are able to
explain in simple language the “ins and outs”
that professional jazz pianists, none other than Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson,
and Art Tatum have used to achieve their
high levels of musical proficiency. A former teacher of mine once said to
me, “Less is more,” and I think your program
has helped me to finally understand the meaning of that statement. Your
Course has freed and empowered me to express myself musically on a
level I had never dreamed I could achieved. I only wish I could thank you
in person. Thank
you so much - you truly have changed my life.
D. Payette
This is the GREATEST course I've ever seen. It simplifies so much. It just all
makes sense now. Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!
S. Martin
I've wanted to play piano ever since I was a kid (I'm 66 now)! There is no
way I could ever adequately explain just how delighted I am with your method of
piano playing. I'm having so much fun. Thank you so very much for giving me the
tools to realize a dream I had almost given up on!
C. Smith
I’m using your method and having the most fun possible playing from
lead sheets—something I didn’t ever think I could
accomplish. I have my favorite songs, which I can improvise and sound
good playing. I usually pick one or two new tunes a week which also end
up sounding pretty good. I had taken a few traditional lessons previous to
your program, and after months all I learned to play was “The Entertainer,”
“Fur Elise” and “The Swan.” With your method, I have learned a whole
bunch of popular tunes and have fun not just learning them, but playing
them! Keep up the good work. I am a great fan of yours. Thanks again for
being there.
H. Dlugatch
I am hooked on piano thanks to you. Thank you so much for simplifying
piano technique, which has always been overwhelming for me. Thanks again.
M. Misner, Champaign, IL
Thank you so much for your wonderful program. I am thrilled that I can
actually wrap my head around something that has challenged me for years. Much
appreciated.
J. Grant
What a wonderful job you have done with this Course. I can’t believe I
am starting to “make music”. Lesson after lesson
after lesson I get an “aha” moment. Even though I don’t always practice
enough to get things mastered before our next
lesson, I continue to be amazed at how things from weeks and months
before “sneak” into my current playing.
Thank you!
Chris
Your course is great! In one week you've gotten me reading music and
playing two-handed better than my previous lessons ever did. Although there is
much practicing yet to do—it's fun now! You Da Man!
Mike
Your program is the best for learning quickly. You make it simple, practical
and easy to learn piano. Not only that, but you're very patient in your delivery of
explanations, which is perfect for me.
Rafael, Orlando, Fl
I've been enjoying music since high school band but have always admired
the 'old timers who could sit down at the piano and play anything ... NOW, because
of Piano in a Flash, I'm one of them!! I am SOOOO happy! How cool it this!
S. Heyer Sr., Mesa, AZ
I hadn't sat down at the piano for three years since I gave up the drudgery of
lessons. After Grandma's piano came to my house to live, I wanted to take lessons
from a "real" piano teacher. I became very discouraged when I was not playing
music after several years of working in in beginning books. With your techniques on
the other hand, I was so excited I couldn't wait to sit down and PLAY! I have been
playing for at least an hour each day since. And I am having so much fun playing
REAL SONGS! Best part—I'm playing the songs as I hear them in my head. You
gave me the freedom to count as I want. Each time I play the song, I play it
differently than the time before—like a musician!! No more guilt about all the
money spent on lessons and the wasted hours spent practicing an abandoned
piano. I can't wait to get home from work and relax by PLAYING songs I love to
hear. Thank you for putting music in my life.
Marilyn C., Chillicothe, Ohio
You de-mystified the whole process of playing the piano. I'm a pragmatic
thinker. Your pragmatic and humorous instruction allowed me, for the first time, to
completely understand "the process" for playing the piano and how it worked. I'm
now ready to really play the piano —a lifelong desire that was constantly repressed
by the thought that I didn't have the time, the comprehension skills, and/or the
desire to "learn the conventional way." Thanks again for helping folks like me to
learn how to play the piano.
D. Boles, Memphis, TN
First of all, thanks for a revolutionary system. Without it, I would probably
have abandoned playing long ago. Now I'm getting pretty good at playing and
enjoying it at the same time. Thanks again.
J.J. Laplace
I really enjoyed and learned a lot from your magical program. It
is medicine for my soul! I struggle with depression, diabetes and glaucoma. When I
play the piano, the room lights up like a Christmas tree. When I play I feel bright,
clever and young again. I see myself as a musician that is fiesty, alert and always
learning something new. I never thought I could learn how to play the piano, but
you made it simple for me. Your piano lessons have touched me and made my life a
better and brighter place. You made my life fun again.
J. Bilbrey, Marion, Indiana
Yes—I made it! Thank you again for helping me “overcome” 50 years of
trying to play popular music based on techniques for playing classical music. This is
like having years of training to fly a jet plane when all you have to learn is how to
ride a bicycle. I have just purchased a new baby grand piano for my new home
where I hope to enjoy playing and singing with my friends for years to come. You
have given me the “correct” training for how to do that!
S. Welch
You were absolutely right—with playing ONLY when and what I wanted for a
period of only a few weeks, I have mastered MANY chords and have gained enough
speed to play all but the quickest tempos! I just LOVE it! THANK YOU.
C Hersker
Just wanted to say "Thank You!" Let me start by saying I took piano and
organ "lessons" when I was younger for seven years. I lost interest because I really
didn't ENJOY playing. A couple of months I purchased your materials, and now I’m
finding that I am REALLY enjoying playing again. It's fun just trying different things.
Thank you again!
L. Banks
Thanks for a great Course! Every 8 class Course was eye opening. You removed a lot of
the mystery of music and made the “work” of learning to play a lot more fun. What a great
value...
Tom
I have enjoyed the Piano in a Flash class. It is wonderful & inspiring. I've
been playing a lot and believe I'm getting better all the time—slowly, but surely. It's
great fun! Thanks again!
Julie B., Elgin, IL
I would like to say that I can't thank you enough for your "system." I guess I
am part of the most desired market share—a middle-aged, upper middle-class guy.
I never played piano in my life and always wanted to. I gave it a couple of tries, but
all other programs didn't work for me. Then I happened to see you on TV. Now my
happiest moments are when I go to the piano, put on my headphones, and "play"
my keyboard. I wouldn't let anyone listen to me playing, not yet anyways, but who
cares? I am the happiest man! Seriously, I really appreciate what you have done for
me and my life. My dreams are coming true—Thank you so much. I am telling
everybody I know about you. Besides making a living, you are doing something
very important for so many people.
V. Gitt
Hi Scott, I enjoy your light-hearted approach to casual piano instruction. I
am having a lot of fun with it myself. Keep up the good work.
Jerry, Holly, MI
You really have changed my life! Seriously, your instruction has validated my
tune picking for all of these years having had very little music training since my
clarinet playing days in school. I have always wanted to play the piano, and you
have made it possible for me. Thanks!
C. J. Burkes, Canton, Ohio
I am having the time of my life playing the piano. No one ever told me that
learning the piano is the same as learning the guitar —one song, one run of chords.
Now finally, the piano makes sense to me. The big mystery is gone and this
wonderful instrument is something that even I (a person who lived in screaming
terror of the piano) can enjoy. I'm having so much fun. Thank you. A big fan,
M Medawar, Raleigh, NC
I am really enjoying playing the piano! At Christmas I could play all the
songs in the starter book that I had. Now I have moved on to oldies, 60's and 70’s
music. I can even play Misty! I play 5 times a week for an hour or more and really
enjoy it. I shared your technique with my 87 year-old Aunt. She likes it too. Thanks
for coming into my life.
L. R. Fedorchak, Kalamazoo, Michigan
You have a great product! I started playing the piano after seeing one of your
PBS programs. Having just turned 57 but having wanting to play for years—I
discovered the hardest part of your program was getting off my butt and getting
started. I have so much fun learning new songs that I can't wait to sit down at my
keyboard at night. Thanks again. I'm having a ball.!
D. Burgoni, Indianapolis
First off, my family is blown away by how well I am playing! I am really glad I
came across your product. Great job! Thank you.
B. Gonzalez, Seal Beach, CA
I started with your method about two years ago. My, I have come a long way! I
have over 20 songs in my repertoire now. It is such a joy to sit down and play
something really well! My friends are very impressed. This has been a fabulous
journey of discovery. I went from a $129 electronic keyboard to a beautiful Yamaha
upright this March, with big, bold, warm tones! I'm lovin' it. Thank you so much for
facilitating this breakthrough in my life. Simply put, were it not for having seen you
on TV and buying your method, I would never have learned how to play the piano.
You RULE!
S. Denlinger, Washington DC
A million thanks—you introduced me to piano, and I haven't looked back. 4
years later, and I'm still going strong. I’ve gone from not knowing the keys or note
names to playing full tilt boogie and blues. I still can't believe how lucky I was to
see your KCET show, and then to buy your instructional materials. I’ll be forever
grateful.
Kelly
K. Mahon, redondo beach calif.
I want you to know how much I enjoy your teachings and simple piano
techniques. I have enjoyed applying these techniques over the years, and they
have been very rewarding to me personally. I have highly recommended your
teachings and show to many of my friends and colleagues who desire to improve
their piano playing. Keep doing what you're doing. Best wishes and God bless.
Michael V., Florida, USA
I played a few instruments from 5th grade through college but forgot
everything I learned. Forty-plus years later, it is you who inspired me to exercise
my brain and fingers in order to experience the piano. I never would have ventured
into this if it weren't for your style of teaching. Thanks for all you do for us
beginners.
Lynne
Thank you Scott. This is unbelievably easy. I just need a little more
fingering work and to learn a few more chords. Thanks again. I have impressed
quite a few people. You have made one of my dreams come true—creating my own
music that will last for my lifetime.
Hornsby
Thanks a bunch Scott. I can play and read sheet music easily now. I never
thought at 36 I would be able to play and read sheet music ever. Now I can be
more helpful teaching the youth at church to become better singers and ministers.
God has blessed you!
P. BREWER, GREENVILLE S.C.
I am entering my second year of playing the piano with your methods and
enjoying every moment of it as a senior well into my seventies ...
H. Litsky
An entire new world of music opened to me. By learning a few chords and
simple techniques, I am off and playing. It has added immensely to the quality of
my life. What better way to kill time waiting on my wife, than to sit down and play
the piano rather than pacing and grumbling! A great day includes at least 40 or
more minutes at the piano. My life has been positively changed forever. Thanks
Scott!
G. Grinch, Grove City, Ohio
I just wanted to let you know that your system is exactly what I’ve been
looking for. I'm simply amazed at the fact that you covered all of the
basics that I have been thinking about. Why is it necessary to sit and
concentrate on something that I have no interest in ever doing—
whatsoever? Your program is making all the sense in the world to me. I'm
excited as all outdoors! Thank you ever so much!
Andrew, Nevada US
I saw you on TV and ran out and bought your book. I am a trained classical
piano player and thought I would play nothing else. You changed that! My wife is
also a very fine classical piano player (much better than I.) She is amazed at what I
have shown her. More than anything else in life (well almost anything, I would
rather be a champion ice skater, but, oh well]. I've wanted to play piano without
having to memorize the songs. So now I'm having a ball, and most of all, I'll have
something to occupy myself when I go to the old age home. They all have pianos.
As we age we must remember the "F" word, FUN!
A. Johnson
Dear Piano Guy, I’ve been playing piano my entire life. I read music and have
studied classical music, and I still get a lot out of your program. I’ve never learned
much about theory, so your information is very interesting to me and useful to my
piano students. I think you do a good!
Veronika
I want to let you know that I have been playing piano for 50 years and that you, your
techniques and your Courses are a real inspiration for me. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and I
race to the piano to try your techniques. Thank you SO
MUCH for bringing a new dimension to my playing, even after all these years. You are more
than a fantastic musician—you are a marvelous teacher and an ambassador for the musical life.
Regards,
Joanie
My major in university was music (that was a very long time ago.) I've really
gotten away from piano playing because I never learned to play just for fun. I was
quite good at playing classical music (only) but I seem to have missed the fun part.
I think your teaching definitely fills a HUGE gap in music instruction, and I wish you
continued success!! Cheers,
R. Barclay, Vancouver, BC Canada
Thank you so much for your Course! I am amazed at the difference in
my playing. I learned to “read” music as a child
(am in my 50’s now) loved the piano but never really enjoyed it. I always
felt that I was concentrating on notes and
never able to play from my heart. Now I feel that I can start to express
myself in music. It’s been truly liberating.
Donna
Hi, I'm the one who emailed you a few months ago telling you that I had
fallen in love with my left hand, the hand that heretofore never did “doo-doo” and
now plays these wonderful chords without even looking down at the piano, and it's
counterpart, the right hand, is playing notes better than it ever could (despite 3
different attempts during its life of piano lessons.) I am so thankful I just happened
to catch you on public TV and bought your instructional materials. If it weren’t for
public TV, I wouldn't be having sooooooooooo much fun! I still can't believe I am
playing like I do. I can't refrain from playing, I run to the piano every minute I can!
S. Sturm, CA
Hi, Scott! I'm writing to THANK you. I've been a flute player since the age of
10, went to college on a music scholarship, but could never hack music theory or
the piano barrier (so I got a PhD in psychology). Went to grad school at North
Texas, listening to the 1:00 Lab Band, and have tried several times to teach myself
bass clef and keyboard. YEAH, RIGHT. Anyway, NOW I GET IT!!! Why didn't any of
my jazz ed friends at NT show me this years ago? When you explained that I
wouldn’t need to read the bass clef, I threw my arms ups and went "WOO-HOO!"
THANK YOU!
Becky
I studied piano like a lot of people for about three or four years when I was a
kid. I could read enough to struggle through the easier sheet music. My interest is
primarily vocal, so I took up the guitar in college to accompany myself and played
with a group or two, no formal lessons though only all by ear. After ordering your
materials I can now play songs and although I still need to expand technique, it's
been the most fun I've had in ages. I now own about six fake books and love to sit
and play through them. Please keep up the excellent work!
K. Morse
I'm a classically trained pianist who was tied to sheet music and have been trying
desperately to learn to free myself. I happened to be channel surfing and saw your TV show
today on improvising and playing the blues. It was fabulous! Within minutes I was able to
take the "blues scales" and the three chords and play around freely on the piano. I took
notes as you went through the steps with your guest on improvising. I'm so excited I'll
probably be at my piano all night!! It's great! Thank you!!
Anonymous
First of all, thanks for a revolutionary system. Without it, I would probably have abandoned
playing long ago. Now I'm getting pretty good at playing and enjoying it at the same time.
J.J. Laplace
This is unbelievably easy. I just need a little more fingering work and to learn a few more chords.
Thanks again. I have impressed quite a few people. You have made one of my dreams come true
—creating my own music that will last for my lifetime.
Hornsby
I can not say enough how much I love this course. Other courses are so dry and boring,
Scott is humorous and presents the material in a lively way that it’s entertaining as well
as educational…Thank you, Scott!
John Palek
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I took piano lessons as a child for about two years—
the traditional, classic method. I didn’t get very far, although I do know the notes and the
key names on the keyboard. About a year ago, I had my piano shipped from my mom’s
home to my house, and I started lessons again. I quickly became frustrated because I
wanted to be able to play and enjoy myself. I found I was experiencing the same
frustrations as I had as a child. I felt like I was getting nowhere and hated to practice.
Hence, I stopped practicing and playing. At any rate, I am so glad I found your
program. Your humor is awesome, and I feel I can relate to everything you
say. Thanks so much!
Carol Gee
Richmond, Virginia
After just one year, you have given me a whole new world of entertainment and
enjoyment that years of piano lessons as a child never gave me. Thank you so very
much.
T. E. Smith
I have the complete course and I LOVE IT!!! The best decision I have ever made!!
THANK YOU!!!
Phil Rogers
Thanks a bunch Scott. I can play and read sheet music easily now. I never thought I
would be able to play and read sheet music ever. Now I can be more helpful
teaching the youth at church to become better singers and ministers.

I love it. You are great. I like it that when life gets busy or sad, you can take a break and
pick it all up again. Love the piano guy.

I am really enjoying playing the piano! At Christmas, I could play all the songs in the

L. R. Fedorchak
Scott Houston’s methods has me playing after I had quit three times previously. I am 72 y/o and am now playing and playing well enough that I just started his private-lessons course to advance even further. I was willing to invest in almost $700. That gives you some idea how much trust I put in his teachings! I recommend his methods to anyone who is beginning non-classical playing!
Marvin Trowbridge
I just started on keyboard, tried my first chord (C-E-G), then went up one key, then another and went, "Hey, wait a minute! That sounds familiar!" It's the opening chords for "Lean on Me" by Bill Withers from back in the '60s. You can be playing along with the song inside of 15 minutes.
Roy Neese
I just started my lessons and I love it! I am in my 70s and have never played before. Suddenly I am playing after a few days. This is incredible! ❤️🎶❤️🎵
Nancy Ryan
Larinda Merkins If you want to learn to play the piano quickly and effortlessly, buy this program! They have a monthly payment option and a guarantee. I’m having so much fun playing several songs after only the first course! I need to move on to learn some more chords, though. Oh, and customer service? They literally answered an email within a couple hours, and have checked in just to see how things are going!! I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤩
Larinda Merkins
Just turned 86 and I am enjoying it every day and learning new things every day
Ed Hilgendorf
I am originally classically trained and I was never able to sing and play or play along with any regular radio music.... I signed up for your course about 3 weeks ago and in that time I have learned more than I ever learned in those years of classical. I’ve always found reading tedious and difficult as I mostly like to play by ear so your approach is amazing. Thank you!
Tamara Lyn McKinstry
I bought the course and it is truly VERY VERY good and FUN and easy. Thank you.
Johnny Juan E Casal
My husband bought all 6 courses for my birthday and I am LOVING it! My piano has gone from a lovely dust collecting piece of furniture to something I am actually using. Have just learnt how to play ‘Yesterday’ and am having so much fun experimenting with solo style and accompaniment style. Fantastic! Best thing we’ve spent money on in a while. 😊 🎹Natalie Powell
I'm only on book two and already I can sit down and play thru songs... even from the easy Broadway fake book that I have.
Mark Hooker
Tried this a few years back and had sooo much joy for myself and my family!!! Thank you so much!!!
Lynn McGuire Taylor
I thought it was expensive and went for it anyway. What a great program Scott offers and if you look at everything that comes with it the cost is not so high, especially when compared to live weekly lessons.
Kati McGeorge
Junie Cee I signed up a month ago and can already play six tunes! I'm loving it.
Junie Cee
I am one of Scott’s pupils who had quit four times and now plays daily! If it hadn’t been for him my piano would be covered in dust. The main difference is he gets you playing quickly instead of practicing.
Marvin Trowbridge
As someone who has played musical instruments and taken lessons, this is a very good program. I particularly like Scott’s personality. He keeps it light and is genuine.
Dee Duffy
I’m having a really great time learning all the piano playing tricks with Scott. Just getting into improv in Lesson Book 4 - so excited!!
Terry Conway
I am loving this course.....the only problem.....I am getting nothing else done.
Linda Peterson
Awwwwww Scott, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶I'm in my 50s, my Mum's nearly 80. We had NO experience with piano. We both bought your online course (Mum's on the West coast of Australia, I'm on the East coast of Australia. But we get on the phone, and each go through the lessons together (but in our own homes). We are on Course 3 now.We ABSOLUTELY LOVE your teaching style (you're FUNNY, HONEST, LOGICAL AND KIND IN MANNER). We feel 'nurtured" as we learn. We are both finding SUCH JOY and GOSH DO WE LAAAAUGH IN YOUR LESSONS!!! Learning with you is GREAT for our minds and souls.THANK YOU for being an AWESOME teacher, and for making your course books and online classes SO logical.You've made the world a BETTER PLACE for both of us!!!!IT'S SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!! Can't THANK YOU enough Scott!!!!🎵❤🎹🎶❤🎹🥳🥳🥳

I bought the course and it is truly VERY VERY good and FUN and easy. Thank you.
Johnny -Juan E Casal
I'm doing the online method. You get actual books, and then his lessons are on-line. He's very clear in his explanations, laid back, and encouraging. It's a lot more motivating and helpful than just trying to learn it on your own from books. Loving it!Deb Tolson Sacksteder
Loving this course, it is so easy to follow. I am now enjoying playing the easy to follow tunes in the books.
Maureen Steiner
I took piano lessons for 10 years as a child and I can play Beethoven, Bach and Mozart and I know my chords and scales but I want to be able to play confidently from the lead sheets to play with thw worship team at my church. I just started this program and I am already learning some new musical challenges in the 2nd course that I believe will improve my ability to make music with the piano when there is no music score to play. I can't wait to see where this will take me.
Janet Hunt Urban
I’ve been on the program for 4 weeks now and am loving it. I’ve learned 6 songs and can’t believe the fun I’m having while finally being able to make some decent music!
Donna Woollett
I have invested in this program and I am LOVING the ability to play my piano again! I took lessons as a child and never kept up on it. I’ve tried over the years to get back to playing and was always discouraged with no progress. I saw success and fulfillment immediately!! Now I’m even accompanying our bible study group now! Thank you Scott!!❤️❤️❤️
Bev Boyd Miller
I listened to your webinar this morning and realized I had the “tools” to do this but hadn’t been using them! Thanks for the positive reinforcement!

I have completed all 6 lessons and proud to say I am playing up a storm.
Carlton Tolsdorf
I enjoy this course. Thankful for the simplicity of the course. I do not feel overwhelmed with info, and I see that you teach the necessities to help us have easy wins - which boost confidence as we learn. The lessons and the practices are great since you immediately learn and then have an opportunity to master what you learn in the following video
Shandah Winfield
I took the course and loved it. I've always wanted to play the piano and with your simplified way of teaching I am finally learning at the age of 77!! Thanks so much Scott!
Donna Schuster

Scott. You are a genius for designing and sharing your marvelous piano method with all of us. You have enriched our lives more than you know. After years of just dusting my piano, I am again enjoying playing. Thank you so very much for this 😊anonymous
It's a great course. I'm enjoying piano again.

I have been using the course for a while now. I think the approach is genius!
Bill Colgrove
I am really enjoying my classes and books! I never knew I could learn to play and enjoy it so much!

I already purchased your course and teaching my students. I took lessons. for twenty years and I am learning way more with you. I taught all my students to play "The Birthday Song" by ear using your method of chords. Ty. I am enjoying.
Kim Prott
I've wanted to learn piano all my life. Now I am finally learning and enjoying immensely because the course is easy to follow. Thank you, Scott!
Bill Colgrove
This course is awesome and fabulous and I couldn’t be happier! Just finishing the first of 6 lesson books. Each little segment of the first book was filled with insights and interesting little techniques that have really helped my understanding of the piano and music! I highly recommend The Piano Guy!
Deb Diemer
I love this way of learning to play. I’m 65 and decided to make my life long dream of playing piano a reality.I really enjoy sounding like a “real” piano player! It fills my soul to play . Practicing songs that I love is enjoyable. Time slips away as I get lost in the music.
Pam Nelson
I signed up and am having lots of fun.
Terri Hobbs
Love your enthusiasm!!❤
Nina Blackwelder
I enrolled this afternoon. I’m convinced he’s cracked the code. Everything he showed us and talks about during this free introduction so resonated with me. His system makes so much freaking sense. I haven’t touched a piano in 51 years but I can’t wait to start again! Thanks Scott!!
Randy Foster
I can’t have my coffee unless I’m sitting in front of the piano...it’s become almost therapeutic as I feel confident in my skill...I’m getting better all the time.....it’s just an overall positive experience .....I’m loving any “bench time” I can get!!!🎼💕
Kate Corso-Passaretti
My husband bought this course as a Birthday gift in November 2020 It is fantastic! If you are able to put the time in and you are interested it will work. I am still enjoying it everyday , my husband says he feels it’s the best gift he ever bought me. It is something I will always be able to enjoy!
anonymous
I've played the piano for years but wanted to improve my skill. I signed up for this course and have learned so much. Thank you Scott. I'm not finished with it but I'm really enjoying it. I like the fact I can sit down and do one lesson or three or whatever I'm in the mood for. It's certainly worth the investment.
Janice Hill Griffith
Learning ot play piano might years for those who are taught the traditional way...for others, the way I've learned from Scott is exactly what I needed...especially based on my starting age, wasn't sure how long I would be around. Thank you, Scott. You provided just what I needed.😊
Joyce Hancock
The Piano Guy this works! I started about 2 weeks ago and I am learning a boatload! Worth every penny! Thank you!
Maria Todd
Totally am enjoying this lesson. Just bought the program yesterday, I am on lesson 3. I have 6 years of lessons but very rusty after not playing faithfully for 20 years. I was really getting discouraged, now I am loving the program and excited to learn the technique. Thank you Scott.
Wava Lorance-Wright
I’m in book two!! Is just wonderful to be able to listen to myself playing songs that I love. Thank you !! Is entertaining, therapeutic, I enjoy so much my bench time❤️❤️. Thank you!!Blanca Mejia
Hi Scott! I'm Pat from Singapore.Just received my books middle of last week (they arrived really fast!) and am thrilled to bits to be able to play simple tunes with two hands on the keyboard in less than 2 weeks. I really enjoy your fun and refreshing method of teaching piano and especially the way you pepper your lessons with humour - never thought an arthritic senior like me would be laughing my way through lessons! Once again, thank you so much, Scott, for helping me to fulfil one of my childhood dreams!
Pat Ooi-lee
Thank you from Perth for the great webinar - it all made so much sense.
Liz Bullock
I love his classes & savings money with his program and learning a lot and playing piano
Delbert Ann Turner
Even though I’m just finishing course 1, I’m having great fun being able to play different songs! I am taking my time, moving at my own pace but doing something I’ve wanted to do all my life is so rewarding!
Mary Rivard
Took piano via the "old-fashioned" method for several years as a child. I'm now finishing course 3 of this method and feeling more comfortable and accomplished than I have in years! It's wonderful to sit down and just play, even if only for myself 😁 🎹Ann Stover-Wyatt
Your PBS program in 2002 completely changed my musical life. You brilliantly taught lead sheets and I’ve never looked back. Own tons of fake books now and still play. I owe you big.

Have signed up today after having a baby grand for 23 years, which we bought with our house. Love Scott’s energy and certainly the learning style as seen on the Webinar today. Super excited that I will finally bring this beauty to life in a manageable and fun way.
Patricia Tarrant
I have been encouraged by watching Scott's webinar. Very interesting! He inspired me!
Mary Stone Batchilder
I started to play keyboard since i was 36 ,and i quit because it's very difficult to play the melody according to the sheet. After i had seen your recommendations,i decided to change my mind to play the keyboard once again in 58 years of age. Thank you the piano guy for lighting my dream sparkling again
Nav Sri
Scott’s program is amazing! I now have 2 main men in my life-my wonderful husband and Scott! As a novice player, am now tucking into Lesson Book #2! Highly recommended!
Nicolette Parant
THANK YOU for helping me make a lifelong dream come true!Nancy Crawford
I think that is a great idea. Some of us learned piano as a kid using our church hymnal. I am taking Scotts course and can play 77 songs so far from Gig Book 1 & 2.
Sybil Noss
I’m enjoying the course so much!
Natalie Powell Perth
Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦Your approach to piano has worked for me like nothing else has. Thank you!
Sharon Corcoran
Great course. Got it 5 years ago. I learned so much in a short time. Highly recommend it. 🎹
Sandra Baum
I bought Scott’s books years ago after seeing him on PBS. Do it! You won’t be disappointed. Start slow and always try songs you like. You may surprise yourself. This is a great program.
Joe Williams
If you have the desire, Scott will give you the tools.
Frank Barcelona I
The Piano Guy, I signed up and have already done the first three lessons. I am loving it!
Karen Haggard
Hi Scott,Last night I played the piano for a couple of close friends for the first time. They couldn’t believe it!! They thought I sounded like a professional who’s been playing my whole life! (It’s actually been 11 months now.:blush:)So I just wanted to pass that on to you. You are the one who deserves the accolades!They said you should hear me… I would be a great advertisement for your course!:wink: They are very very impressed with you and your teaching method!I have been working on ” WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW ” and have most of it sounding pretty much like your version. The last two measures… you’re terrific ending… Is still giving me some pat the head and rub the tummy issues. But I feel myself starting to break through the wall on that. Still can’t thank you enough for taking the time to make me that tape! As soon as I get that mastered, I will get back to the lesson book.Anyway, just thought you would like to know that you have two more people bragging about you!
Merle Bruneman
Scott has a way about him that gives the impression that he is talking to you just as an in-person teacher would.So am I a satisfied customer?You bet...haven’t had this much fun since I was a kid learning piano the “hard” way.Even though I may never need it, I’m delighted with the thought that help is as near as my phone if I get stuck.
Richard (Dick) Egli of Tecumseh
I bought the course. It is 100% as advertised.
Steve Burris
Enjoying your teaching methods and having fun learning.I like the part in the lessons where Scot goes to both hands together, and you get the feel of the music and how you are supposed to do the timing it helps me a lot. I then mimic the hand moves. Frank A Caudo
Started reviewing the first coarse again. Loving it. Thank you.
Rosie Figueroa Rodriguez
When I retired almost 4 years I followed my dream of learning to play piano. I truly love the lessons from Scott. I highly recommend Piano in a Flash!!!
Martha Thomas
I've been using his program for 4 days now. I can play about 10 songs in the gig book 1 so far! My husband is amazed. 🥰 We are worship leaders, so I'm hoping to someday be confident enough to play in church!! I told him it's like magic in my head, playing actual songs after just 3 days. 😊
Tina Lynn
I loved your course. It really works and I can really play music.
Lisa Ellsworth
Finished 1st Course. Have learned so much. Having fun—slow and steady but enjoying every minute of it. I am 66 years old and learning to play the piano has been on my bucket list for years.
Robert Rhoads
I took regular lessons as a child. Now retired, purchased this and I love it. I can replay as much as needed. It came with a slew of materials! It is $700. My son pays $25/wk. for lessons, so that equals 7 mos. of lessons. My grandson can’t review his lesson, can’t do it at his convenience, has to reschedule when needed, all books and materials are extra. This is a great purchase
Susan Parry
Just began this program, so far I Love it
Robert Marzinotto J
Very impressed with the free webinar today. Thanks so much..... just signed up and I'm very excited to tackle the piano again after years of playing classical but really wanting to improvise.
Mare Palacol
About 10 years ago I bought some of this guy's stuff and started getting his e-mails. Quite frankly, I need to start buying more of his stuff. He is really amazing!
Stephen Fink
This was my “learn something new during Covid” project. I learned many helpful tricks and tips, along with songs that sound really good without being difficult to play. Well worth the time and effort. Fun too!
Barbara Booth Hemphill
I have used Scott’s method for over 4 years now. It allows one to satisfy the urge to make music. You won’t be playing at Lincoln Center but short of that you’ll be making music. Scott is the best.
Charlie Cossentino
I signed up years ago. Best investment I ever made. Give thanks to you every day
Charlie Cossentino
I learned how to play the piano in the early 90’s. Played it daily for 2 years. Then my family came over , became busy at home and at work and I stopped playing . Now that I’m retired, I tried a few times to play the music sheets that I kept. I get so frustrated having a difficult time reading notes when they’re way over and way below the lines. So I bought Course 1 and 2. Three days with lessons and I went ahead and bought the remaining 4 courses. Thank you , Scott, for making your lessons easy to follow. I’m loving it!
Myrna Glock
I plowed through Course 1 and most of Course 2 and it is a dream come true to learn to play the piano - at age 66! This former elementary principal believes we are never the finished product and we don't quit five minutes before the miracle happens, right? Thank you, Scott and team.😁
Robert Rhoads
I bought in. Best investment I ever made. Before, I could play most hymns and children's songs by ear in the keys of c,g, or f. Now I play show tunes and pop music off of lead sheets and loving it!
Paul Haken
I got this last week. I've 2 lessons...its so easy to follow and understand. Worth every penny
Julie Calvary
I did the webinar. Fabulous stuff. Easy method to learn. Love your teaching style!
Angela Oravetz
I never cease to be amazed at how Scott teaches!!! Am I going to perform on Broadway? Absolutely not! At 66 years of age, I don't have a lot of "time" left for years and years of memorization and practicing. Every time Scott has introduced a new song, I have looked at it and thought, "I'll never get this." Then Scott breaks it down bit by bit, and lo and behold, I CAN DO IT!! I amaze myself! Am I going to become a concert pianist? Absolutely not, but that isn't what I want anyway. I want to be able to sit down at a piano and play some music...and Scott is enabling me to do just that!!! Scott, thanks for your wonderful technique and teaching style!!! You are amazing!!!!
Kathy Pettengill
I bought this and have learned so much and can play so many songs I never thought I could play. Highly recommend these lessons.
Phyllis Templeton
$720.. well worth it.. 6 module books with video.. at my own pace..
Mark Dreiling
Your PBS program in 2002 completely changed my musical life. You brilliantly taught lead sheets and I’ve never looked back. Own tons of fake books now and still play. I owe you big.

I signed up for the webinar and bought the course….I played as a child and want to play now that I’m retired…The course is easy to follow and I’m sitting at the piano at least an hour a day…. I really enjoy it…. If I want to play well, I have to practice…. Now is the time to do it and I’m looking forward to following the course and finally enjoying playing the piano!
Kathy Jones
I haven't practiced in ages due to time constraints but I must get back to it, I love the course! I love the fact that I can pick up again and revisit, this is the reminder I needed! 👌👍
Susan Kande
This was my “learn something new during Covid” project. I learned many helpful tricks and tips, along with songs that sound really good without being difficult to play. Well worth the time and effort. Fun too!
Cathy Scarms
I'm taking his lessons and am impressed. In my younger days I took 4 years of structured lessons, too much theory for me, but I retained the basics. The Piano Guy's courses are fun, with theory that you can understand and see. Love it.
Sue Geurts
I’ve logged 32 hours now with Scott’s program and can tell I’m making progress. Today Scott responded to my inquiry about a tune that’s not in his books and he sent me a personal video explaining and showing all the chords. I am tremendously impressed. This guy is for real!
William Lee Goff
I love pianoinaflash.com. I can work on my lessons day or night! Scott's techniques are so simple. I signed up for the course a few months ago and so glad I did!
Cathy Scarms
I’ve played the piano for over 55 years, have a BA in Music, taught piano lessons and also spent years as a church pianist and organist. This is a tremendous program and is the one that I most recommend.
Mark Talbert
I am retired and enjoy sitting down several times each day to play the piano - one, two or three songs each time. Oddly, Until I commit the lyrics to memory and sing them, I am unable to play the songs without the lead sheets.
LaVerne Gibbs
Classical training used to take me weeks to learn a song to play confidently. Now it takes a day or 2. I've gotten more creative too. Thanks Scott!
Amy Free
I am getting ready to start course 3. Scott is a wonderful instructor and you have fun learning the lessons. Reasonable price as well.
Sue Geurts
Just a note to say that I am so thrilled with my progress - Course 3 - Lesson 5. This method of learning to play the piano is a dream come true. It’s been on my bucket list for years. At 66 years old, this guy is having so much fun. Thank you.
Robert Rhoads
I'm loving my lessons! Just started Class 6 and I can already play a good number of songs with both hands.
Karen Haggard
Scott makes it so easy to do, you'll be doing it the first day!
Peggy Butler
I had purchased your complete course (the $700 one). Until I had it in my hands I didn't really realize what a goldmine it was. The sheer wealth of information is unbelievable! From beginner to much more advanced playing it just explains thoroughly and in a way, holds a student's hand all the way through. I can't even begin to imagine how long it must have taken to put this wealth of information together. The amount of "extras" is also unbelievable; so many"gig" books of music to play, the chord chart and more. Anyone who purchases this will never be sorry!Steve Andrews
I bought this course last November 2020 and it was approx $600 U.S. but it was the best $600 I ever spent. This guy is excellent in his delivery And the way he teaches. You won't be disappointed.
Tommy Thompson
I am learning so much from this online program that it is surprising me! I have already learned how to play Jingle Bells in a matter of hours - like ONE hour. The Piano guy is an outstanding teacher!
Tara Lisa McNeil Ouden
I am thankful to you, Piano Guy, every day, for all the licks and trick I enjoy learning in your piano course. Practice makes my day, every day in these, my retirement years.
LaVerne Gibbs
Thanks to you I took up the piano again at 64 years old. Now I am 81 I’m still enjoying the piano.
Marie Frances McLeod
Mr. Piano guy got me started 10 years ago. One of the best decisions in my entire life. Thank you Scott!
Larry Resnikoff
Scott you are the wonderful piano guy🤗and you changed my whole life 💃🏽. I’m working on mastering two of my favorite pieces - Autumn Leaves and Vincent (by Don McLean) - and then getting up the nerve to play them to share! Thank you Scott and wishing you a wonderful holiday season🥰
Roni Ellen Cooper
I purchased the program after joining a webinar in late springtime.This way of learning has worked for me, whilst still a long way to go to become a acomplished pianist I am now able to play a good and growing number of tunes I really like to a reasonable level.It has given me much joy and peace of mind helping raise my spirits above all the fear and negativity fed to us by many of the governments and media of the world.Turn off your television and play the piano.Thank you Scott for you simple, smart and fun way to learn.
Mike Dodd
I purchased the six-course series in August and just completed Course 1. I can't believe how much I have already improved. It's so much fun and satisfying. The short, self-paced lesson segments are perfect. I'm loving it!
Karen Haggard
If you're even slightly interested, take time for this webinar. You won't regret it!
Karen Haggard
Thanks for checking in! I did receive the books and just started. So far, I’m loving this. The books are well printed, the lessons are short enough to breeze through and remember, all in all, a very good experience. I was highly trained in classical playing and music theory back when I was a child but haven’t played in thirty some years. I could never play by ear and never thought I’d be able to learn. Amazing how much is coming back to me and how much sense this is making. Thanks for a great experience.
Lisa Bage
Happy Thanksgiving to you. Ive only started following your lessons recently and so far im loving it.well I took piano lessons as a young adult. I always found it so hard to make my left hand do something different from the right. I find that these lessons just introduce gently the concept and offer suggestions that really help, like youtube videos. At this early stage I am impressed with the songs that I can play with two hands. I do need more practice and will need more ideas for different rhythms for my left hand, but Im sure that will come. I feel excited that I will actually become a piano player. I look forward to lots of practice time during the cold winter months. I love it.
Cindy Doak
What I like best about the program is the timing of the course development, which avoids the natural anxiety to achieve success for each new lesson. Your comments and encouragement replaces this anxiety for a great pleasure to progress at my own capacity AND the results are astonish!! I almost don't notice how far I had come!!! Thank you again!!
Pablo Rosenthal-almirall
Thanks Scott you have encouraged me to keep going in spite of a damaged nerve in my left hand. I love your course! Merry Christmas from Bermuda!
Sandy Gascoigne
After studying Classical piano for 5 years and failing miserably at sight reading I was not happy playing the piano.I found Scott Houston. I was delighted to buy his first two books.I instantly began to have FUN playing the piano.I wrote to the great Beegie Adair last year about how she felt about playing the piano.She wrote back and said, “ First and foremost it must be fun!”Just what I thought, I said to myself!So here I am many years later and still having FUN playing the piano!! Chords are much easier to navigate and I love to improvise too with my right hand.Many Blessings and Happy Wishes for a wonderful Holiday Season Scott!
Carol Schachel Evered
Robin Redman here. I have used Scott's lessons and his music books for years. I was taking piano lessons from this sweet little woman in my town for about a year. She was great but just didn't feel I was progressing as quickly as I wanted. Then started watching The Piano Guy on PBS. So ordered his first book and program. It was amazing. If you enjoy music and want to play I highly recommend this deal.
Jenny Winternheimer Redman
I bought his program last February and can play nearly 40 songs (both hands)I can’t be more pleased! I need more music
Susan Wilson
Thanks again for your assistance in taking advantage of the (delayed) Black Friday sale! Due to the holiday schedule, I've only taken the first three lessons, but I am thrilled that I will be achieving my dream of playing the piano like a pro! When I opened the box to reveal my books, I felt like a kid at Christmas! No questions thus far, but I am sure you won't let me down if I need help. I wish you a very blessed holiday season, and hope that you are surrounded by love, light and laughter.
Charlene Gowen
Thanks for checking in! Finally found time to get started today and it really upped my energy! And thanks for offer for further help!
Mary Renaud
I often get adults visiting my music shop who tell me they'd like to learn piano now just for fun. I tell them to check out Scott Houston The Piano Guy
Frank Baxter
I have no questions at this time. My only beef is that nothing like this was available when I was 10. I don't think it's a stretch to say that had I had this instruction then, my life would have taken a different turn. I'm not saying I would have been a professional musician, but I would have had a lot more fun in a lot more places, and my circle of friends would have been quite different.I liken the difference between Piano in a Flash and conventional lessons to the difference between learning how to drive a vehicle with an automatic transmission versus a straight stick. In each case, it's better to get the experience rolling, learn how the road feels and keep your destination in mind, without the distraction of more difficult details and complicated movements. The latter can be added later if desired and will make for an entirely different, richer experience, and that's fine. But at first, all you want to do is go somewhere.There's no reason for your company to get into this in your instruction, but I would like to know if you have any information about why the reading of notation stumps so many people. I began with piano at roughly age 6 and took lessons for three mostly unpleasant years. Later, in school, came drums, and after that I blundered into guitar, mandolin and bass, on my own. Over decades, I've purchased countless books and software packages on notation, technique and theory, and to this day, I have a baffling amount of trouble reading music. I have a good ear (I have absolute pitch), but reading notes is like wading through mud. I don't know why. As a result, I have great empathy for people with true learning disabilities, or people who, say, struggle with math or chemistry. Notation is my educational kryptonite.And I didn't help myself by thinking there was something faulty about playing by ear. Even though many musicians I admire read little if any music (Paul McCartney has done rather well for himself), it seemed to me as if they were ... cheating, in some way, and that their creations were not what they could be. This is malarkey, but it held me back from seeking someone who could teach an instrument by ear.To my knowledge, there were no such people anyway -- or at least, not until recently. A couple years ago, a local music store began offering group piano-by-ear lessons for adults -- seven weekly lessons for $200, plus $20 for a fake book. I was set to start these but held off because of COVID concerns. Then I learned of Piano in a Flash, and here we are.I don't know where this will end up, but I'm happy to have the opportunity to find out. And I hope you're coming up with an advanced course or courses. I expect to be ready.
Rick Shacklett - RDS
I have now set myself up with my laptop on a stool next to my keyboard so I can watch the sessions. I haven’t managed many playing hours yet because things are a little busy but I am making progress thanks to Scott's amazing teaching strategies. I have had music lessons for various periods, decades ago. But, as Scott said, focussing on the notes for both hands makes it too much like hard work and minimal joy. And so much easier with timing to play as I know it to be, not as I read the note forms.
Eve Dyer
Meantime, I cannot say how deeply satisfied I am with Scott’s technique. I am 71, and have taken classical piano and quit years ago.I have picked up piano and then quit, can’t tell you how many times. Now, when I play, I sometimes cry, because I can make music that deeply moves me. Will you please share this with Scott?
Annette Jacob
Scott, it’s your mate from down under. I continue to enjoy playing piano every single day because of you.I have to keep jotting down in my own “gig list” the songs that I can play with no sheets,because of youI feel the power that no chord is unplayable because it’s so simple to work outbecause of you.Is that a song in the making ???Seriously, the last few years have changed my life. I understand things on utube, and Other sites because of you.Thank you from all of my heart.
Michael Ohalloran
I’m 56. I got this program 2 years ago. I was playing songs within a week and now I play hundreds of songs and enjoy playing piano every day. These lessons have provided me with a way to have so much fun!! I get zero from saying this. I just wanted to weigh in and let everyone know that this is the real deal
Clint White
Can't thank you enough for guiding me on my quest to play piano!
Bette Jo Traggiai
I just signed up and loving the lessons. 64 yo and most of my life been playing off and on. Truly amazing how he teaches!!! A plus!!! I always hated playing chords but I am up for the challenge! I can see how much improvement I have made in such a short order. Thank you!!!
Carol hill
Thank you Cameron for following up with me. I received my books and absolutely love the approach to playing, I am a social worker and have limited time for anything. Playing the piano has always been a dream and goal of mine. I prayed to learn how to play and I feel your program was a answered prayer. God Bless, Happy New Year!
Melanie Scott
I am really enjoying the course and Scott’s approach, after boring childhood lessons and a couple of adult attempts to pick it back up the old-fashioned way. This is really fun.
