The Piano Guy
The Piano Guy is a half-hour instructional television series broadcast on Public Broadcasting stations across the USA and Canada. The show was produced from the studios of Mills James Productions in Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Houston has received six in the categories of (Interview-Discussion Program & Host-Moderator-narrator Emmy Awards as Host/Moderator), and the show itself has received two Emmy Awards for production and graphics for a total of 8 Emmys for the "The Piano Guy" weekly public TV series. Over 180 episodes were produced while in production over 14 seasons. 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.
