FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Rates reflect a holistic approach of what it will take for me to produce quality live music at your event. This includes reviewing travel, time and distance, overall time spent at the venue, preparation to learn new music if applicable, and whether or not there is a Piano already on location. My rates also reflect my unique art form of playing the piano by ear.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Most people have never booked a pianist before. It is my pleasure to assist my clients through the booking process. It all starts with building a relationship with the music and the musician. A brief phone consultation helps inform me about your vision for the event as it relates to live piano music, helps me generate a custom rate, and also helps establish if it is a good fit.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a self-taught pianist. I do not read music and I do not subscribe to music theory. This makes what I do extremely unique. I play the piano completely by ear. All of the music I play on the piano are my own renditions, my own arrangements. All of the music is stored in my memory. I do not use sheet music.
