Reviews for Dave Caruso's Online Dueling Pianos Training
"Hey,
Dave. Just wanted to tell you I did a dueling show
last night and it was the first chance I had to really put
together and apply everything you taught me and boy -- it
made a real difference. Your lessons really went a
hell of a long way -- from starting with the crowd, to
adding in TV theme songs, and it really took my act to a
different level, so just I wanted to say 'Thanks.'
I've got 3 or 4 gigs in the next couple of months! As
soon as I get some time I'd like to get back in touch for
some more lessons. Talk with you soon."
--John, New
York / Dueling Pianos Entertainer
"I had been working as a dueling piano player for awhile
when I met Dave. Since Dave's training, I've greatly
improved my abilities onstage in opening a show, creating an
energy between the audience and performers, selecting the
songs that sustain energy, and generating enthusiasm.
Dave knows what works and what works even better. I
can't recommend him enough. He'll give you the tools to be a
successful performer and partner!"
