I'm familiar with a wide array of classical, jazz, popular and musical tunes, and enjoy continuing to learn new music. An accomplished solo, duo and small group performer, I am connected with many other high-caliber musicians.

Absolutely wonderful performance and song selection.

Less than a month out from our wedding, we were informed that our church's organist would not be able to perform for our ceremony, so we were in dire need of a new organist. I found Megan's information through gig salad and promptly reached out about whether she would be able to travel to Erie and play for our ceremony. So messaged me back in no time at all and we began discussing what we needed and our song selection.

Trusting her, I left the music selection to her judgement and I could not be happier that I did. Our ceremony went flawlessly, all thanks to her incredible performance. Even after a slight delay from having to go find the ring bearer's pillow which lengthened our intro song, it went unnoticed because Meghan continued playing and it was incredible.

I could not recommend Meghan enough if you need a professional organist for any manner of events. Her professionalism and song selection absolutely made the event.

Absolutely amazing

Megan was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding ceremony and cocktail music... not to mention her music is beautiful. We were told all evening how the guests at our wedding thought the music at the ceremony was absolutely wonderful, and it’s all because of her. Megan, thank you so much. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t have changed a thing about working with you. For any future music needs of mine or my families, we will absolutely be in touch.

Wonderful

I hired Megan to perform holiday music at our company's Christmas luncheon. She was wonderful. She was very well prepared. She brought a book of music with her to handle requests. All of the employees really enjoyed her music. I would definitely hire Megan again.

What to Expect

As a classically trained pianist who also committed to years of jazz piano studies, I have the artistry and versatility to play just about any style or genre you'd like, so long as it works on the piano. If I don't know a tune, I can find it via the internet and learn it quickly for your event.
I love catering to my clients' needs and the variety of gigs that result from evolving tastes!

About

Megan Denman is a seasoned, versatile musician from Lakewood, Ohio.  She earned her Master's in Piano Performance from the University of Akron and her Bachelor’s in Piano Performance from Baldwin-Wallace University. Her classical piano instructors include Dr. Robert Mayerovitch and Ms. Laura Silverman, and organ instructors Dr. Margaret Scharf and Ms. Barbara McGregor. Ms. Denman's studies in jazz piano inform all of her playing thanks to years of study with Rock Wehrmann and Ron Drotos.

Megan held the position of staff pianist at Baldwin-Wallace University, the University of Akron, Kent State University and Cleveland State University, where she learned a significant amount of musical repertoire and learned to play piano alongside all different types of instrumental soloists and singers. She is a member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 4 Union chapter in Cleveland, Ohio.

Additional Booking Notes

I own a Casio Privia piano and high-quality Roland amp which I am happy to bring to your event at no extra charge.

For pianos and organs onsite, please confirm it to be in good tune and in working order before the event. The last thing anyone wants is an event to be ruined by an incapable instrument!

For events over 30 miles from my Lakewood, OH residence, I may charge an additional transportation fee.
