When someone hears the words “dueling pianos,” they might imagine two pianos facing off to determine which one produces the best sound. As strange as that may sound, they are not entirely wrong, at least in terms of the positioning of the instruments. However, the players are not competing against each other but rather collaborating in a duet.

Those who attend one of these events are strongly encouraged to get involved in the performance by the musicians on stage. This often involves being persuaded to sing along with the lyrics of a song led by the performers. Therefore, one should not expect any boredom during one of these occasions.

The instruments used in this act are a pair of baby grand pianos placed in a way that allows the two professional players to face each other. The selection of songs they play depends largely on the type of music they specialize in. It can include blues, popular music, rock and roll, or country.

Another aspect of the performance involves taking requests and dedications. However, one should be cautious as the type of dedication that ensues may be more humorous than expected. It would be wise to ensure that the person who becomes the subject of such a jest has a sense of humor.

Actually hiring an act of this kind is a simple matter of searching online for a website that sponsors them. Most of these websites have connections with performers in various cities or towns, allowing individuals to find an act near their location. Therefore, a bit of research is all that is needed to find an act that suits one’s preferences.

Choosing entertainment that requires full audience involvement for a bar, party, private event, or business function can make it truly memorable for everyone involved. It can leave a lasting impact on their professional or personal lives.

Dueling pianos have their origins in a rich music history. It initially started as a competition between two musicians to showcase their speed and dexterity to the onlookers. Of course, the music produced during the duel had to have a recognizable melody or at least one that people could dance to.
