I had asked for a violinist to visit while family was gathering at my parents home for Mother's Day for a brief period and to play some of my Mom's favorite songs. Amy arrived early and we talked through the entry. Since we're social distancing due to Covid19 and my parents are 84 & 83 years old, family members had hoped to gather in their beautiful yard, but due to cooler temperatures, we had to shift the party to the garage. When Mom realized Amy was playing for her she was overwhelmed with tears. It was a beautiful performance and Amy nailed it! Great memories for the family. Thank you so much for helping out with our special day for Mom. Susan

Thanks so much, Susan! It means so much to us to celebrate these special moments with families like yours. Amy sends her thanks for hosting and also for the cupcake! 😁
Johanna was amazing to work with! She helped us find Violinist Elizabeth for our wedding reception and we couldn't be happier with the results. Both Johanna, when organizing the details, and Elizabeth, were both so professional and wonderful to work with. All the guests just loved hearing the romantic sound of the violin while they mingled during the reception. We got lots of compliments regarding the music. I just want to thank them again for being everything I was hoping for and more! I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a musician for their private event.

Congratulations, Katherine and Matthew! It was an honor to be part of your celebration. Thanks for entrusting us with the music, and we wish you all the best in your future!!
Johanna is truly a wonderful and versatile pianist, and her music provided a wonderful ambiance for our event, with selections from ragtime to Broadway to Bohemian Rhapsody! She responded promptly and thoughtfully to all my questions, and she provided a microphone for my family to use upon request. She helpfully provided song lists to give an idea of her vast repertoire, and even learned some new songs that we especially love. We received so many compliments on the music and everyone wanted to know where we found such an incredible pianist! Thank you so much for your wonderful performance--it really was the icing on the cake for our special evening!

We hired Amy to play modern pop songs during cocktail hour at my husbands 30th birthday. She arrived on time, was very professional and did a great job! It was the perfect addition to the night!

Hi Tracie! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a joy playing for your family's special event. I look forward to seeing you all again on the big wedding day!!
Johanna is a great choice for any event.
Pianist
Johanna played for my daughter's wedding. She was very organized and always responded to my questions. She played everything we asked for. We got so many positive comments on how beautiful the music was at the wedding. I would highly recommend her for your event.
Pianist
Johanna is one of the best pianists I have ever worked with. This summer, a soprano friend and I collaborated with her on a musical theatre project. While she hadn't played our songs before, she dutifully and cheerfully learned 22 new songs to perform. At the recital, many of the audience members commented on her ability to handle all the challenges of some very tricky music. I highly regard Johanna and always want her to play for anything I perform if possible.
Pianist
I own a wedding music company, and hired Johanna to perform a wedding with one of our musicians. She was kind and pleasant, performed each song exquisitely, and epitomized punctuality and professionalism. Highly recommended!
