👋🏼 Hi! I'm Scott Houston

My time with the piano has been nothing short of remarkable. It all started in college when I discovered my love for the instrument. Shortly after, I also discovered my love for teaching others just how easy and fun it really can be! Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to host “The Piano Guy” PBS show for 14 seasons, and have gone on to continue helping tens of thousands of adults and counting achieve their dreams of learning to play.


My next mission is to show you how it is possible to start playing the piano no matter your age, motivation, or experience level (or lack thereof)! Forget everything you think you know about piano lessons, because I believe that piano should be fun, and I'm dying to tell you about it!


The piano truly can change lives, and if you’re ready, you could be next. It’s YOUR turn to play!

🫵 It's your turn to play!

Since teaching hundreds of piano workshops across the country, hosting "The Piano Guy" show on PBS, and launching the Piano in a Flash Online Method—I've been able to help transform thousands of music lovers into music makers! My method uses these 3 Secrets to get adults playing in days and weeks, not months and years. 

Lead sheets

Lead sheets are what the pros use—studio musicians, cocktail players, and the like. They take away 90% of the complexity of learning! Don't know what lead sheets are? That's okay! I'll teach you in the webinar.

Simple chords

Turns out you DON'T need to memorize dozens of chords to learn how to play. There are a few chords that are simple to learn, but open you up to being able to play hundreds of popular tunes you know and love!

Familiar tunes

Forget the Wigwam song, Mary had a Little Lamb, or Hot Cross Buns. You can learn to play non-classical piano without having to play hokey kiddie tunes. Learn to play songs from your favorite genres.

"You put music back in my life. Grateful for your work. Particularly love the idea of playing vs. working at piano. This speaks to my soul!"
