Absolutely beautiful

We hired Laurel for a 2 hour cocktail party for our Latvian community. She incorporated Latvian music as well into the song playlist which surprised everyone! We will definitely be hiring her for this event next year!

Wedding Pianist of the Year

Laurel could not have been more incredible. She went truly above and beyond for our event, including coming to our rehearsal when she did not have to. She even surprised us with a small gift. We loved working with her so much and she sounded so incredible. She truly understood what we were going for with our ceremony! 10/10, would recommend her to anyone looking for a ceremony musician.

You can expect me to listen to your wants and try to find pieces that best fit your style! I will keep open communication up until and during the event.

About

Hi! I’m Laurel Hart! I’m very passionate about music and sharing my love for music with others. I’ve been playing piano since I was 8 years old, have both a Bachelor and Master’s degree in Music Education with a Piano principle. Upon graduating with my Mater’s, I began teaching private piano and became the head church pianist at our church while performing for gigs and accompanying choirs on the side. I also was a choir/band director for full time for 5 years before moving to Raleigh, NC. Shortly after we moved to Raleigh, my husband and I started a family and I am currently a stay at home mom while our two precious little boys are young! But, even though I am home with our sons, I keep up piano by performing for gigs, playing keyboard on our church’s worship team and also I do some writing/arranging of my own! I was classically trained, but love to play anything and everything: classical, jazz, pop, swing, blues, country, light and easy, sacred/Christian hymns, worship music, rock, soundtracks and more!

I can provide my own keyboard and speakers
