Justin was professional and an amazing piano player!

We hired Justin to play piano at our company dinner, and he was fantastic. He arrived on time, was very professional, and played the perfect mix of piano music for the evening. His music created a great atmosphere and was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend.

Wedding music

Justin was amazing to work with. He was professional in his interactions and patient with my daughter as she decided on music. He played classical and Frank Sinatra which was beautiful for the pre-ceremony. My daughter entered with a Star Wars song that brought tears to her husband’s eyes. I would highly recommend Justin for any of your next events.

What to expect

When you allow me to provide the entertainment for your event, you should expect quality music. You can expect that the repertoire for your event is well thought out and well-prepared. I feel comfortable performing in front of live audiences which gives me a high level of confidence in performance situations.
You can also expect me to be punctual and respectful.

About

I started playing the piano at a very young age. I grew up performing around my hometown and participated in musical organizations throughout my career as a high school and college student.
I am a 2015 graduate of Millersville University, holding a Bachelor of Science in Music Education with a concentration in piano. Most recently, I earned my Master's Degree in Music Education from University of the Arts & Rowan University. I am a full-time music educator in a public school district in Lancaster County, PA. I teach elementary & middle school orchestra as well as elementary choir. In addition to teaching full-time, I also serve as the organist & pianist at a local church.

Additional booking notes

If I am asked to provide my own equipment, I will need access to two outlets to provide electricity to my full-sized keyboard. I travel with 50 feet of extension cords, so I will need to be within 50 feet of an electrical outlet, or additional extension cord(s) will need to be provided.
