Why You should Listen to the Piano Guys

We all heard amazing covers from different artists on Youtube such as Boyce Avenue and Megan Nicole, but I am going to show you something different today.

Have you ever heard of the Piano Guys?


The Piano Guys is a group composed of 5 musicians who makes covers of different songs, starting from the classic Beethoven's 5th Symphony mashed up with One Republic's Secrets to today's music like What Makes You Beautiful of One Direction.

Now, I know you might as well think of them as an ordinary musical group. Well, you're wrong.

Let me tell you why this group is different.

1. They use the different parts of the piano to create an amazing cover.
            Imagine 5 guys making music with the use of only one piano and a cello! How cool is that?

2. They come from different work areas.
        Well, the members of this group are all musicians. John Schmidt plays the piano, Steven Nelson plays the cello, Paul Anderson is an owner of a musical shop called The Piano Guys, Tel Stewart is a piano mover and a videographer, Al Van der Beek is a musical engineer.

3. They are not the boy band type.
      Yes, they are all guys but they make music in a unique way. Watch the videos here to see it for yourself. :)

4. Their music is soothing to the ears.
      They make music using a piano and even though the cover today's music like David Guetta's Without You, it still sounds soothing to the ears.

5. They are not only assigned to one part throughout the whole song.
      The way they play music using the parts of the piano changes throughout the whole song, they switch places and improvise with other parts too. You can see something new throughout the whole song.


Well, I hope that these reasons are enough to make you listen to them. I hope that you are able to enjoy their music as much I do! :)

'Til the next post,

Fawn
