I play many genres on the piano and gladly take requests. My repertoire includes both classical and popular songs from many decades 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s 70s 80s on up to present 2024. Specialties include George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and the Beatles. I can lead sing-alongs as well. I have tons of experience playing for weddings, memorials, parties and receptions. Mainly I am known to make people happy.
There's an "above and beyond" quality to Merrill's piano performances! I've had her play so often she's my go-to because she's so capable and versatile — elegant classical piano, singalong standards, touching ceremonial music, harmonizing ambience—even incredible original songs! She's a seasoned professional, her entire body of work is amazing, her grace at the keyboard is seamless, she's intuitive and responsive, and has a refreshing presence. Merrill Collins is a reliable professional with well-developed talents and a little something extra—which often comes in the form of her top-notch musical collaborators.
