How was this done? How has this concept thrived for so long? This innovative concept known as <em>Dueling Pianos Missouri <\/em>has been passed down from Veterans of the Dueling Pianos concept to a younger generation of Missouri dueling piano players through vigorous training, both on-the job as well as one-on-one mentoring. Today, the Dueling Pianos concept is not only popular in Traditional Dueling Pianos venues, it is also a hit at <strong>Wedding Receptions, Corporate Functions, Colleges and Universities and Fundraisers.<\/strong> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duelingpianoshows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/missouri-dueling-pianos-300x201-1.jpg\" alt=\"missouri-dueling-pianos\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" class=\"picframe left size-medium wp-image-997\"> While traditional Dueling Pianos performances such as Howl at the Moon, Rumrunners, Ernie Biggs, and Crocodile Rocks differ only slightly from performances for privately held events in Missouri, the general format of &#8220;Sing-Along&#8221; (also synonymous with the term &#8220;Dueling Pianos&#8221;), request-driven song selections, great piano playing and comedy are prevalent in both Missouri dueling pianos private settings and traditional Missouri dueling pianos nightclub shows. However, not all dueling piano entertainers who perform regularly in nightclub settings are acquainted with the skills necessary for executing the Dueling Pianos concept at a private function. <a href=\"https:\/\/duelingpianoshows.com\">Dueling Pianos International<\/a> has spent years developing a roster of artists of corporate and family friendly Dueling Piano professionals who have the following characteristics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Proper training from second and third generation Dueling Piano veterans<\/li>\n<li>The ability to <em>introduce <\/em> the dueling pianos concept to a brand new audience &#8221; a <strong>requirement <\/strong>for any successful dueling pianos private engagement where the majority of the audience has little or no knowledge of the dueling pianos concept<\/li>\n<li>A professional appearance and attitude both on and offstage<\/li>\n<li> The ability to &#8220;read&#8221; a crowd and implement a balanced entertainment environment of dancing, sing-along, clever Missouri dueling pianos comedy and audience interaction presented in a professional family friendly manner<\/li>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.duelingpianoshows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/missouri2-dueling-pianos-300x197-1.jpg\" alt=\"missouri2-dueling-pianos\" width=\"300\" height=\"197\" class=\"picframe right size-medium wp-image-998\"> Dueling Pianos International&#8217;s client list includes <em>Nestle, Dominoes, McDonald&#8217;s Corp, The United States Army, The United States Navy, Aegon Insurance Group, Boys and Girls Club of America and many, many happy brides and grooms all across the country.<\/em><strong>Call 1-800-700-7464 (SING) for a personal consultation, or <a href=\"https:\/\/duelingpianoshows.com\/contact-us\/\" title=\"Contact Us | Dueling Pianos International\" target=\"_blank\">Contact Us<\/a> online and complete our <a href=\"https:\/\/duelingpianoshows.com\/free-online-quote\/\" title=\"Free Online Quote | Dueling Pianos International\" target=\"_blank\">Free Online Quote<\/a> form!\t\t<\/strong><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"default-video-box\">\n<div class=\"multimedia_display\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missouri Dueling Pianos I just wanted to say thank you for all your help in preparing our Dueling Pianos Wedding.
