Solo piano music using an 88-key Yamaha DGX-535 with 500 voices. Chose from the grand piano voice, string quartet, orchestra or cathedral organ. If there is an accoustic piano at the venue, I can also provide music if you prefer. I have a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from The Berklee College of Music in Boston (cum laude). I can provide classical music, current popular music, Broadway show tunes, some light jazz (including Dave Brubeck), a Sinatra medley, Big Band and a Gershwin medley. Please feel free to make requests.
All of the music I play is contained in a music reading software program inside an Apple i-pad, for an organized, professional appearance on the piano.
I greatly enjoyed Ms. Stravinskas's classical performance at Lynnfield Community Church Coffee House !
Response from Janice Nikitin Stravinskas:
Thank you so much! I am thrilled that you enjoyed the performance and I am looking forward to doing another show.
Sincerely,
Janice Niktin Stravinskas

It cannot be overstated that for an event to be successful, a lot of planning is required. Because I provide piano music, I contact the client and after speaking with them, I create a personal song list for their event and send it via email. I make myself available for as many consultations as they would like to have by phone or email to go over the song list before the event. Then they know each and every piece of music that will be played and the event will be exactly the way they want it to be. Last minute additions are never a problem - I can add songs as close to the event as the day before. I also check with them about their dress code. if it is formal, I wear a gown. I am a musician, so I always wear concert black.
In order for an event to be successful, several things must be done in the planning stage. I am very conscientious about the pre-planning items that need to be covered. I am always available for phone consultations or email messaging. In addition, after speaking with each client, I create a personal song list for their event and send it to them via email. Then we can go over it as often as necessary before the event so they will know every single piece of music that will be played. If they want to make additions or deletions, I take care of that immediately. Last minute changes are not problem. I can add songs as close to the event as the day before.
I also check with them about their dress code. If the event is formal, I wear a gown. I provide piano music, so I always wear concert black unless another color is requested.
I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music Education (cum laude) from the Berklee College of Music in Boston and I studied with a concert pianist during my time there. I also teach privately at the student's home or via Skype.

When I was a piano student, I was very impressed with the talent and genius of concert pianist Vladimir Horowitz and his performances.
If the keyboard is selected, I will bring everything that is necessary. I would only need 2 working electrical outlets for the keyboard and the sound system.
