The Piano Guys

 via YouTube

Recently I am in love with these five guys, the awesome Piano Guys. Their music is epic, their video is wow. I am speechless.

The Piano Guys consist of five men. It's all started in a piano shop owned by Paul Anderson  in St. George, Utah. Anderson then met Jon Schmidt who just walked  into the shop and asked whether he could practice there for an upcoming concert. Months later, Anderson and Tel Stewart for the sake of fun started making videos together of Jon Schmidt.

The collaboration then continued with the five of them, Jon Schmidt (the Piano Guy), Steven Sharp Nelson (the Cello Guy),  Paul Anderson (Producer/Videographer), Tel Stewart (Videographer/Editor) and Al van der Beek (Music and Studio Guy). They produced a music video every week and posting it to YouTube.

Since their music and videos were well prepared, no wonder if people easily fall in love with it. As of May 5, 2013 The Piano Guys' YouTube channel has over 224 million total video views and over 1,6 million subscribers.

"Lots of parents are using our music to show their kids how fun classical music can be and motivate them to learn instruments", says Schmidt. That's definitely true, I have shown all Piano Guys' videos at YouTube to Najla and Zea and it seems they love almost all of them. Hope this will encourage them to practice the piano more diligent and who knows maybe someday they are also interested to practice cello. Okay I start sounding like an ambitious mom. Forget my last statement girls, just concentrate on your piano class but if only you change your mind, let mama know...soon..haha...:)
