I am professional, prompt, and flexible. I will always deliver what I promise and do anything I can to cater to your needs. I can be available at a moments notice and am very comfortable adapting to any scenario.
I am a passionate pianist that simply loves to play. I began playing piano as a youngster and it quickly became a hobby, turned passion, turned career. Piano and music has always been a major aspect of my life and I finally decided to nurture my inner voice several years ago when I quit my day job and decided to return to the University of MN as an adult student and get my second degree in Music, Piano Performance. From that point on, I have made it a career and I couldn't be happier! I have played for masses, church services, funerals, weddings, cabaret shows, and cocktail parties for nearly 20 years. I currently have a personal studio of students that teach weekly in my Chicago home and love to nurture and share my love of music with my students. I also have years of experience accompanying vocalists, choirs, and solo instruments.
Requirements for Wedding Services or Cocktail parties is that there be a piano there *Note that the better the piano, the better the sound. Digital pianos work great but don't offer the same acoustic quality that a grand piano would.
If interested in piano lessons, I require all of my students to have an instrument in their home that they can practice on that has a full-size keyboard and weighted keys.
Set list can be anything requested, however for weddings my style can vary from classical to more contemporary. Here are a list of my favorites to play (specifically for weddings):
Classical:
Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D)
Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring
Joyful, Joyful
Bach Arias
Chopin Nocturnes
Modern pieces that come to mind (Note I re-arrange all of these to suit the mood):
'Til Kingdom Come - Coldplay
Yellow - Coldplay
Everglow - Coldplay
1000 Years - Christina Perri
Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis Presley
Somewhere Over the Rainbow
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Lovely Day - Bill Withers
The Way You Look Tonight - Tony Bennett
Baleen Morning - Balmorhea
All of Me - John Legend
Angel Eyes - Jim Brickman
Threads of Love - Lorie Line
You & Me - DMB
Just to name a few...
I can arrange any requests to suit piano, so if you have a special song or want something unique, just ask!
Just a Piano :)
