Scott Shumaker - The Artist

Scott Shumaker has been playing the piano for over 40 years, and composing for about 20. He plays entirely by ear.

Scott started his musical training at an early age by taking piano lessons. Although the call of playing outdoors prevailed and the lessons ended, Scott never quit playing entirely, and in his twenties his love of music evolved into composition.

"Shumaker crafts music that comes to him in fragments-snatches of melody, whispers of harmony - that slide around in his mind until they cohere and get into complete piano concertos." - Janis Dice, Perspective Arts Newsmagazine.
