June 26, 2026Excellent and professional
Scott is a talented pianist and is very professional. I contacted Scott less than a week before a memorial service and he was responsive, adaptable, and accommodating. I highly recommend Scott for any event and would certainly ask him to play again.

June 7, 2026Scott is Incredible!
Scott played for our ceremony at the wedding and did such an incredible job. Everyone was raving about him after the ceremony, but even before, all of the venue staff and my planner mentioned they had worked with Scott several times and how great he was. Can't thank you enough!

What to expect
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I arrive early, stay flexible, warm, friendly and easy to work with, and bring something special to every occasion.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began professionally when I was 18. I am now also beginning a global presence on YouTube and download and streaming sites, being an empty-nester is awesome!
What types of customers have you worked with?
All, Dallas/Fort Worth is very diverse:) And my recording work as a session player let me work with a lot of great artists!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Find a well-respected and reviewed pianist, there are a lot of vendors with middle-school student abilities trying to pose as professionals--they may be just what you are looking for if you want nice, simple piano, and that is great. But maybe you will want a pianist who is a few notches up. Also, I am very careful to only take work that I am well-suited for. If I know other excellent professionals who might be more what you are looking for, I will recommend them to you. I want you to find the best pianist to fit your bill.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Sometimes naming songs and artists you like will give me a better idea of what you want. What one client thinks is jazz, or classical, or classic, or whatever, is different than what other clients or I myself think those genres might mean. There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer, it is just that clarity leads to providing you with exactly what you are looking for.
