I play a wide variety of popular music including Beatles, Queen, Simon & Garfunkel, Disney classics, video game music, anime, current popular songs, patriotic, show tunes, and much more! And I’m always open to taking requests in advance, one month lead time appreciated.
Travel distance is also negotiable, so don’t hesitate to ask. Northern Michigan is a possibility in the summer—one of my favorite places to get away. 😃🎹😎

Ellen is an accomplished pianist with a lifelong passion for music. Her musical journey began at the tender age of 6, when she began classical piano lessons.
Originally hailing from McKeesport, Pennsylvania, Ellen's musical talents slowly blossomed as her first public playing was at a small country church in Michigan, serving as church organist and later music coordinator. Her husband’s career led her to Wisconsin, where her musical opportunities expanded by serving at churches across many different denominations.
In 2020, Ellen embarked on a new chapter in her musical career by diving into the world of social media. Starting her TikTok account, she quickly captured the hearts of music enthusiasts worldwide with her video game and anime music covers. With over 270,000 followers and counting, Ellen's TikTok presence has become a beacon of joy and inspiration for people of all ages.
Whether she's playing at weddings, funerals, special events, or captivating audiences on social media, Ellen continues to entertain and uplift others with her passionate piano performances. She touches the hearts of people of all ages & nationalities, and brings them together through the universal language of music.
Ellen is available to play as a soloist, accompanist, or with her newly formed piano quartet, “Strings & Things” (violin, viola, cello, piano).
