Girltunes
Overview
Fine, elegant music for your special event. Solo piano, duo, or trio. Jazz, classical, Broadway, standards, pop. Weddings, corporate events, private parties, holiday parties, cocktail hour, receptions, memorials, etc.
Having a Halloween Party? I have tunes ranging from "The Monster Mash" to "Vampire" (Olivia Rodrigo) to Twilight, Danny Elfman and Edvard Grieg.
Having a Christmas Party? I have all the traditional carols, pop classics, and latest tunes.
I played a party recently where the DJ canceled last minute -- so they hired me instead. I played all their favorite tunes from the 60s to the 2020s. As a bonus, the guests could actually hear each other while conversing :)

July 17, 2024Wonderful pianist
I hired Ferris to play the music for my Catholic wedding ceremony. She was very communicative, friendly, accommodating, and professional during the planning process. The wedding music she provided during the ceremony was beautiful and exactly what I dreamed and hoped for. I highly recommend her for any of your piano music needs!

June 2, 2025Kind. Fun. Musically Accommodating.
For 3-4 years, we've hired Ferris (Girltunes), on repeat - for our holiday party.
I Do NOT write reviews, but FERRIS is worth it!
First year: I was VERY specific about what I wanted . . . ie, holiday songs not too religious (many attendees aren't so), also peppered with non-holiday songs (so doesn't sound too saturated like a mall). Also, please attend to the high/low energy of the guests/mood, ie, if party lulls, play songs with higher tempo, or if guests get too loud & crazy, please play calming peaceful pieces. Not only that, be ready to spontaneously accompany guests caroling.
She was Perfecto!
Oh, and I shared a few fav selections, and Ferris worked them in perfectly, so that I felt her intuitively warm musical presence -- as a support to a hard working Hostess -- throughout the evening.
Well! I don't consider giving such specific direction to Ferris now! Because I don't need to. I learned she can read a room better than me. And is uncanny in figuring out that tone that we as hosts want to set, far better than I can put into words. Ferris comes early, prepared for anything -- carols or not -- and still plays my own private favorites without batting an eye.
Responsible, reliable, professional. But mostly I love her music.
Music for celebrations -- of any kind -- is highly personal & subjective . . . I love how Ferris is happy to fulfill our musical wishes, with high caliber professionalism, and no judgment.
(I'm very picky, as in my 2 decade theatre work, I hired many musicians, composers & choreographers. Talent is good. Talent with warm Flexibility, is the BEST!)
Ferris is fantastically Flexible! For any reasonable person, she will deliver & overdeliver. Making at least the musical part of your event easy, reliable & fun!
