FAQ about hiring a Keyboard Player

On average, a professional keyboard player costs $200-$400. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the length of the performance, the musician’s skill level, and any special requests you might have. Your keyboard player may charge more if they need to learn new songs that are not already a part of their existing repertoire.

A pianist and a keyboardist are essentially the same, however, a musician who advertises themselves as a keyboard player will have a portable keyboard they are able to bring to your event. However, if your venue provides a high-quality piano they may prefer to play that instrument. It’s important to discuss these details with your keyboard player prior to booking.

Keyboard players are commonly hired for two hours. However, they are typically able to accommodate any event length. If you hire a keyboard player for more than an hour, be prepared to offer them 5-10 minute breaks every 30-45 minutes.

Keyboard players perform a variety of music. They typically have large repertoires that span multiple genres of music including classical, jazz, and pop. Some keyboard players may specialize in certain styles, so be sure to browse the vendor’s profile before booking to see setlists and samples of performances.

A keyboard player is perfect for providing background music for a wide range of events. Keyboard players can create an ambient or upbeat atmosphere at weddings, cocktail parties, charity events, anniversary parties, and corporate events.

Keyboard players should be able to travel to most events within driving distance. However, due to the size and weight of their equipment, air travel would most likely be limited to entertaining at venues that provide a piano.
