Amazing

Dear Shari,

I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for making our party so extraordinary! You created such a fun, engaging, and joyful atmosphere for the kids, and I truly appreciate it. It was amazing to see them all so excited—playing, participating, exchanging instruments, and smiling the whole time.

Your kindness and generosity with the kids did not go unnoticed, and I am so grateful to have had you as part of our celebration. You truly made the event special!

Looking forward to working with you again in the future!

With appreciation,
Carmen

Great Performance

Shari showed up early to set up and make sure she was ready to go in time. She played nonstop for the 2 hours we booked her for. She was very approachable for any requests. Her music selection was exactly as requested. All my guests enjoyed her music at dinner.

Shari really enhanced our party

Shari played a beautiful selection of background music for my wife’s surprise birthday party. She’s very talented and in addition has a lovely warm personality. She was even able to skillfully and engagingly carry on with her music when my 4 yr old grandson who was mesmerized with her playing, wanted to’ help out’ on the keyboard. Highly recommend her
