I can play pretty much anything! Are you looking for classical/jazz pianist for your formal gathering to set the atmosphere? or little rock and or popular music to liven up your party? Got a group of kids for sing along? Perhaps you want to walk down the aisle with your favorite 80's hair band music! I can play them all!
Motoko did an absolutely wonderful job for our event! Due to an illness, we were seeking someone with less than a week to both accompany two songs for a violinist as well as provide further background dinner music. She was extremely responsive and helpful, and her playing skills are beautiful. Could not have asked for a better pianist!!
Response from Music By Motoko:
Thank you for having me!
I hired Motoko to play piano while my girlfriend and I cooked dinner together at a beautiful Airbnb we rented. She did such an amazing job. Her energy and sweet personality made our night! We can't wait to hire her again for another special occasion! A+
Response from Music By Motoko:
It was absolutely my pleasure!
Motoko did a great job. She went out of her way to work with me to figure out the best way for her to play during a virtual Zoom event.
Motoko is talented, accommodating, lovely to work with and added a very sophisticated ambiance to my husbands 60th birthday celebration.
I would hire her again without reservation.
Adapted perfectly to our event. Beautiful music.
Motoko came and played piano at our home Christmas party. She's an excellent musician and a great entertainer. She put together a selection of music that was just what we asked for. She was highly professional, friendly, and helped our guests have a great time. Super communication too. We would certainly hire again and we highly recommend Motoko for your event.
Motoko played so beautifully at our cocktail party at The Charles Hotel. Her beautiful music added so much elegance and beauty to the atmosphere. Thank you, Motoko!
We booked Motoko to be the pianist for both our daughter's wedding ceremony as well as for cocktail hour during the reception. She was super easy to work with and very helpful! In terms of playing quality, absolutely superb! We will be looking to book Motoko again when our other daughter marries in the future. Thank you Motoko!!!
Motoko was perfect for my husband’s celebration of life. Her talents were varied from transcribing a song my husband had created for the guitarist to play to creating the best atmosphere for the service.. She was very easy to work with and was able to help with the planning when I needed some hand holding. Couldn’t have asked for a more talented musician. You won’t go wrong hiring Motoko.
Hiring Motoko was genuinely one of the highlights of our wedding. For anyone planning a wedding, it can be very stressful with many moving parts, but planning with Motoko was so easy and effortless. I hired Motoko originally as a pianist for my ceremony then changed plans to have her play our cocktail hour as well. She was so easy to work with when it came to changes and to make plans with. She replied to my emails, texts, and calls timely and she is so kind, patient, and happy. She played the songs we requested beautifully, and received many compliments from our guests at cocktail hour.
Please, please, please, please hire her. You won't regret it!
Motoko arrived promptly and was dressed very appropriately for our Baby Shower. She was just the added touch to make our affair as Elegant as we were aiming for!! Definitely will hire again!
Motoko was professional, timely and so talented! Would highly recommend.
Thank you SO much, Motoko for accommodating our request to play during our 2021 Holiday Party. The list of songs you selected was perfect and the guest thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance the melodies created. Looking forward to our next gathering with you!
Happiness, J
Joani & I had personal loss matters to attend to while a celebration of Joani and our Grandchildren was planned. Motoko took time to rehearse some Music with Joani before the event was committed to make the experience a successful one for Joani and the Guests. She did a terrific job ,plays a wonderful key board piano and most important was a pleasure to work with. She ranks very high on committed to her client experience in a very personal and professional way. Would highly recommend Motoko. She worked to make the experience wonderful for young and old even playing and letting excited little ones use her mic as she
played. It was both natural and special and not choreographed.
Very professional. Excellent music she was a wonderful addition to our party
Motoko is extremely talented and it was so relaxing to hear her play classical numbers. She was so nice and very easy to work with and we'd love to book her again!
I was frantically searching for a new pianist when our current one canceled a few weeks before the wedding. I'm so happy I found Motoko on here, who accepted on such short notice! On top of that she played all of the music we requested, both for the guests entrance, and our exit from the church. She showed up super early and had everything set up on her own before I even got there!
The most amazing part was how she played my wife's requested Flower Duet by Lakme, adapted to fit a piano. And we were so emotional, she played it so beautifully ...! Thank you Motoko for making our special day all the more special.
We used her for cocktail hour at our wedding . Professional, friendly played whatever we asked with no problem . We had to change the start time a bit because of covid and she had no issues rearranging for us . Highly recommend!
Motoko was Ahhhhh-maaaaazeeeee-ing!!!! She was kind, replied to every phone call and text and emotional response. I would truly book her over and over again, and we have now become good friends now.
We had the pleasure of adding a Classical Christmas sound to our live Rockin' Pre Christmas performance with Motoko accompanied by her talented daughter Leah. Performing live timeless beautiful Christmas Classics, Motoko and Leah made such a memorable magical event for everyone. Thank you so much for a wonder time, we look forward to teaming up with you again!!!!:)
Response from Music By Motoko:
Thank you. We look forward to teaming up with you again!
I hired Motoko a week before our corporate holiday party, and she was very responsive. She was happy to provide an array of music that suited our guests' age groups, took requests easily, and played an array of non-denominational holiday music for our various colleagues. She was a wonderful addition to this annual event, and we will be sure to call on her again in the future!
Our company thoroughly enjoyed her music at a cocktail event. She was quite flexible and happy to take requests. Thank you Motoko!
Response from Music By Motoko:
Thank you! The pleasure was all mine:)
Motoko
Motoko played so beautifully at my father's 60th (approx 100 people)! Everyone at the party was raving about her. I highly recommend her kindness, skill and professionalism. I will definetly be calling her when we are looking for another pianist.
Motoko is a very professional and wonderful pianist, able to play all the songs I requested.
Motoko provided excellent piano music during our recent holiday party. She is a great pianist and was professional in every way.
Response from Music By Motoko:

Response from Music By Motoko:
