Two investments: the piano & the teacher:
A critical part of a piano investment is the learning process, under the kind & patient guidance of a
carefully selected teacher. Even for those who are highly skilled, one still has to learn each and
every new piece. So, Houston Piano Company pays a lot of attention to the piano education process,
searching out every learning innovation. Because of this, we’re certain we can:
- Find the best piano for your child, or for yourself if you’re the student
- Match the best learning technology to your interests and instruments
- And provide the encouragement and motivation for you or your child’s success.
Actually, it’s a critical—essential, even—part of our business plan. You see, if a piano isn’t played,
it gathers dust, and pretty soon it is a Used Piano begging to be resold in the Want Ads. We want
you to be happily, and merrily, playing and singing each and every day. So well, in fact, that you’ll
want to upgrade to a newer, shinier, longer grand piano. (seriously!)

Two Paths to success:
Houston Piano Company offers 1) the finest acoustic studio pianos from Yamaha and Kawai, as
well as 2) the latest piano-learning technologies from Roland. So you can find out what’s best for
the student taking lessons, we will gently offer you both options. Both highlight traditional piano
skills, and the best investment for your family’s musical activities. And we go one step further. . .
We offer a Near-Guarantee
¿ How can Houston Piano Company guarantee that your child will learn to play the piano? Let’s face it, a piano
is a significant investment. Up-front cash, with no guarantee that even a gifted child will be
interested long enough to learn the basics. And a typical child? Who knows!?! Many parents are examples
of “lessons that didn’t take.” We can’t offer an absolute guarantee for your child’s success,
but we can improve your odds—drastically. We feature a “Music Tutor” that almost guarantees
success, that almost captivates and maintains interest in the lessons and provides ongoing motivation
to “play around” with music technology while learning. If you’re considering lessons, considering
a purchase, you owe it to yourself to come into HPC. Bring your child along, and take a free lesson.
And be sure to ask about our “Near-Guarantee!”
See how exciting it is, and note the glimmer in the child’s eyes. The “this technology is SO COOL”
feature will ensure they learn even when “official practice” time is over. At the very least, come experience
our “Guarantee for Success!” in piano study.

Everything points to the iPod
Today, nearly every kid either has an iPod, or is desperately pestering parents or grandparents for
one. So, whether you select an acoustic piano, or a digital with built-in Tutor, come to Houston
Piano Company to see how our teachers and students seamlessly use this technology, send music
files to friends, and listen—constantly—to their iPods. Piano lessons with the iPod can be one element
that brings it all together, and keeps ‘em learning and performing, way past the end of formal
lessons.
Whether you’re a “Re-Tread” or “Late Piano Bloomer”
You can Play Piano in a Flash. Scott Houston, famous for his regular PBS appearances, has developed
a no-nonsense approach to learning to play, using the chord symbols found in popular music.
Whether you took lessons long ago, or whether you just want to learn quickly without years of lessons,
come take a free “Play Piano in a Flash” lesson. Scott probably won’t be in the store; however,
a life-size cardboard silhouette of Scott is there to supervise your free lesson. And we have
several certified teachers who use this enjoyable, practical approach to playing leadsheet or Fake-
Book style. Call (832) 541-7800 to schedule FREE “Play in a Flash” lesson.
You can catch his TV show (or Tivo or iPod it for later viewing) on Houston PBS-TV, on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday at 3:00 and 3:30 PM. (check your local listing to confirm time)
