For a quick overview, the Piano in a Flash Online Method teaches adults how to play non-classical piano very quickly from the comfort of their own home, on their own piano or keyboard, without ongoing monthly payments. Delivered online, as long as the student has web access and a piano or keyboard, Scott can get them having fun playing their favorites tunes quickly! Scott Houston (aka the Piano Guy from PBS) has over 25 years of experience teaching adults how to play the piano using this technique via live workshops nationwide, his 6X Emmy Award-winning PBS TV series “The Piano Guy” which ran for 14 seasons, and now, online through the courses found at pianoinaflash.com. His unique adult method, focusing strictly on non-classical genres, eliminates the need to read complicated sheet music. Instead, students learn directly from Scott using his non-traditional and modern style to get to a point of sounding good and having fun in days and weeks vs. months and years. Course 1 & 2- These two courses provide a great start to beginning students and will fully immerse you in the core tenets of how it is we go about playing piano in our style using Lead Sheets. We will be playing 10-15 actual songs in 4 or 5 different genres as we work through the new concepts and gain confidence in your ability. Course 3&4- With the basics fully underhand from Courses 1 and 2, you'll advance at a pace pretty shocking to many previous students of traditional lessons. We really get into more advanced ideas and tips and tricks that pros use to sound like they do. You'll begin to really understand the theory behind why it is that different styles sound like they do, and be able to apply that knowledge to the many songs we continue to learn and work through. Course 5&6- In these courses we'll cover even more advanced concepts that open the doors to being able to sound truly professional - things like playing by ear, transposing, chord substitutions, and scales used in improvising.
