How do Dueling Pianos Work?

Dueling pianos combine live music with audience participation and fun, interactive bits.  The audience requests songs, and we play them, getting everyone to sing or clap along.  For networking events, dueling pianos may not be the best, because we thrive on interaction, but for corporate parties that celebrate the employees or company, we’ll bring the fun.  Weddings are definitely some of our favorite events to perform, too!  While we focus more on getting everyone dancing, we throw in a lot of the sing-along and clapping elements, too.


Dueling pianos are perfect for many types of events.  For weddings, we can definitely get everyone on the dance floor and keep them there.  Our audience interaction and the “dueling” element of song battles are perfect for fundraisers and getting people to donate money.  Whether it’s a corporate event, an anniversary, or a birthday party, we’ll get everyone singing and dancing, because you are the star of the show.

What Is Dueling Pianos?

Dueling Pianos is an interactive, musical performance.  With two highly skilled entertainers sitting across from each other, they work together to get the crowd singing, dancing, and clapping along to their favorite songs.  While most people think of dueling as some kind of battle, and there are elements of that sometimes, it’s primarily focused on making the audience the star of the show as much as possible.

Guests get to choose the music, which can be anything from modern hits to old throwbacks. Every performance feels new, with weird mashups and people interacting in ways that have never happened before during a show. It’s always exciting and a lot of fun.

What Is Dueling Piano Entertainment Best Known For?

Dueling Pianos is best known for a large repertoire and almost encyclopedic knowledge of songs ranging from Sinatra up to Chappell Roan.  In addition to that, you get live music that isn’t a scripted show and also doesn’t cost the price of a 5-piece band.  While you can book extra performers such as guitar players and saxophone players, most people are happy with two performers and a drummer, and their wallets are happier, too. 

Lastly, though, guests for dueling pianos don’t just watch, they become part of the show.  We love audience participation.  So get ready to request your favorite songs, sing loud, dance, and have an incredible night.
