I learn music very quickly. So if there is a song you like, and I can find good piano music to it, I can usually learn it for your event.
I have an electric piano and speaker if necessary. I prefer to play on an acoustic piano that is in tune. For outdoor events please make sure electricity is available within 25 feet.
I have a huge list of music and genres. I started out learning classical, my favorites being Chopin, Listz, and Rachmaninoff. But I learn what the client likes, so I studied jazz for many years and have developed a repertoire including Gershwin, Brubeck, Ellington, and many others. If you like showtunes, I have many Rogers and Hammerstein songs I play. And of course many people like 60s and 70s songs like the Beatles, Neil Diamond, and the Carpenters.
If you have a song you want performed, I can learn it with enough lead time and if I can find suitable piano music.
