Amanda plays so beautifully and a variety of music. Something to please everyone at Xmas house party. She takes requests and is so patient as party guests attempt to sing along. Her playing makes any party a great success
Amanda has been fantastic! We've had her perform at our graduation ceremonies a few times now. At the most recent one, we experienced an audio issue, and she quickly stepped in, playing the National Anthem and saving the day!
Hired Amanda last year for a private birthday surprise. She was wonderful, punctual, and professional. I recommend.
We invited Amanda to play piano pieces (classical & contemporary) at a funeral service and she did a stellar job. She arrived early, was highly respectful, and performed all of our requested pieces flawlessly (plus she added a few bonus works too). Her performance was touching and impressed everyone in attendance. Amanda deserves the highest recommendation. Her piano playing helped to make a sad occassion into something more positive, deeply meaningful, uplifting, and memorable. Thank you, Amanda. We couldn't have wished for a better person to play at our event.

Amanda was a delight to have at our event. She came prepared with her set list as well as previous suggestions, and then she catered to the audience by continuing to beautifully and seamlessly play songs to our taste including classics, jazz and contemporary. Our event was elevated to the next level and it was such a joy to have her with us for the evening. Highly recommend having Amanda play at any event!

Amanda played piano for our Christmas party. She played beautifully, a variety of Xmas, Popular music. Our party guests started sing alone and we were treated to Amanda playing classical pieces.
We hosted a large international conference at the SFU WOSK Centre and Amanda played piano during the reception. We received lots of compliments given her professionalism and exceptional talent! Amanda is able to greatly enhance any event you may be hosting for business or private functions.
The guests and staff at the graduation ceremony thoroughly enjoyed the piano music for the event. Would definitely book with Amanda again.

Thanks Sid!
My wedding timing was a bit late then the time I told her but she was not understanding at all she was keep saying charge me per minute and beside her lack of understanding she did not play because the volume was sooo low that no one can hear her I ended up walking in without the music we told her to not play so I do not recommend her she will ruins the events has she ruined my wedding night 😢
Response from Piano Music by Amanda:
Hello Tamana,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I was disappointed with the outcome of the wedding ceremony as well. However, please keep in mind that when you booked me, our agreement was that I would play the requested song between 9pm and 9:15pm, but you were over an hour late that day and did not let us start until past 10:15pm. The fee you originally paid for only covered 9pm to 9:15pm so it was more than reasonable for you to pay an extra fee for waiting that long, out of respect for my time.
Regarding the low volume, I was willing to move to the area with microphones after playing the test piece, but by that time you decided that you didn’t need the music anymore. It also didn’t help that there were three other people telling me different things about where to stand, what to play, etc. when we were getting closer to the start of the ceremony. I know how hectic and stressful wedding days can be though, so I don’t blame you for the difficulties we experienced on Saturday.
Wishing you guys all the best,
Amanda
Amazing music, very responsive and guests loved it. Thanks Amanda!
Response from Piano Music by Amanda:
Thanks Sid, appreciate it! 😄
Amanda played violin for my wedding. She played really well and she was very professional. She communicated well with me before the wedding. On the wedding day, she arrived early and worked well with the marriage officiant. I would recommend her to anyone for their wedding or other events.

Response from Piano Music by Amanda:
Thank you so much Dalton, it was so nice to play music at your home and to meet the other guests! :)
Performed very well.
Amanda played holiday music at our home for a small office party. She was a pleasure to deal with from the beginning. Totally professional and so talented. Her presence really enhanced our evening.
Amanda was the pianist on my son's wedding. I sent her the list of music my daughter in law recommended.
I was totally surprised that she quickly recorded those selected pieces, took the video so we can listen and watch them while she played the music on her piano. Amazed how fast she recorded them all. She is so talented and she knows her craft. She performed outstanding in my son's wedding ceremony. In addition, she is so efficient in communicating with me while we are in the process of selecting the artist. Because of her quick response, the stress and burden of finding the right pianist was immediately remove from my shoulder. I would highly recommend to hire her in any occasions. She is awesome, amazing and easy to deal with. Outstanding and excellent pianist. Well done Amanda. Thank you so much.
Response from Piano Music by Amanda:
Hi Megs, thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful card that you gave me at the wedding! Wishing you all the best to you and your family! 😊
Amanda is a beautiful classical pianist. She can play almost any request. She knows exactly how to play to the audience. Her timing, tempo, choice of music. Very talented. She helped make our event perfect. Thank you Amanda.
