May 25, 2022Ann was very responsive and caring during a difficult time with the loss of my father. Ann’s voice is beautiful and brought beauty to the funeral. We has so many compliments, one person said they wanted to clap after her solo became her voice was so moving.

Client quote: "Ann did the most incredible, flawless rendition of Malotte's "The Lord's Prayer" aka (Our Father). The entire congregation was brought to tears. Ann had made all of the arrangements for the pianist and the harp player. After the service, our family couldn't keep talking about the beautiful music and how she had taken the burden of all that planning off of us and just made it happen. We decided she had undercharged us. After all, the music was as important or MORE important than the flowers. So we sent her a tip that was twice the amount of her modest fee. Her music at the service was what we will remember the most for years to come."

I will approach your family's needs with empathy and sincerity.
I am able to provide consultation for memorials, celebration of life events, and funerals.
I can work directly with church musicians.
If the music you seek requires additional instrumentation or vocals, I am usually able to fulfill those needs from my network of professional musicians.
Once the musical selections have been made, I will source the appropriate music and make copies available to the accompanist.
I will arrive to the service 30 minutes before start time unless more rehearsal time is needed with musicians.
I will present myself professionally and with reverence for your service.
If your venue does not have sound equipment, I can bring mine for a modest rental fee.

I offer vocals only. I typically rely on mics at venue or in churches, but can provide if needed. I can provide digital tracks, or a keyboard and accompanist.
