Katherine played the musical interludes for the funeral service of a person with wide ranging musical tastes. Katherine provided invaluable support and assistance in compiling musical selections reflective of the tastes and temperament of a much-loved decedent. The service was graciously and professionally enhanced by her participation, as confirmed by comments from attendees after the service.

You're very welcome, Emily! It was truly a lovely wedding, and you were a beautiful bride! I wish you all the best! -Katherine
Katherine has helped us out several times when our regular organist was away or ill. I love having her come. She fits in so effortlessly. Katherine is always prepared, organized and conscientious. This past Sunday she came to the rescue on short notice. So appreciated!!
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Thank you for the excellent review, Linda! It was wonderful to see you again! Wishing you many blessings. -Katherine
I couldnt have wished for better or more. Katherine was very communicative from the git go. On the night of our Open House, she arrived early to familiarize herself with the space and the piano and then played the overall program we discussed, and was receptive to requests. She really plays beautifully; a joy to have the house filled with her talent. When the evening ran long, she agreed to extend. I'll definitely be hearing more from her!

My business partner and I booked Katharine as an accompanist for musical theater auditions. She arrived ahead of time to set up, was able to adapt quickly to multiple singer's and their song choices, and an overall joy to work with -- we would definitely recommend her and book her again for a future gig. Thank you again!

Thank you for the great review, Kyle! I wish you all the best!! - Katherine
Our pianist arrived on time and quietly set up . She played beautiful Holiday music for our guests and we were very pleased with her performance. I would recommend the Versatile, Engaging Pianist for your next event.
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Mary, thank you for your wonderful review!! You were great to work with, and the atmosphere was so warm and joyful. Have a lovely holiday season! - Katherine
Katherine is a lovely woman, excellent organist and the most imminently adaptable professional I have ever had the pleasure to know. With only 24 hour's notice, Katherine was able to provide my family with the heart-felt music of her inspiration and our requests to ease the loss of my Aunt Susan. I found out on Thursday at 9 p.m. that our church organist would not be able to provide music at my Aunt's funeral on Saturday a.m. I thought I would need to make dozens of calls, but thanks to Katherine and Gigsalad, my worries were alieved in short order. Katherine was available, was knowledgeable of 95% of the music we requested and was able to find the one hymn with which she was not familiar in short order. What a supreme blessing to have a knowledgeable, professional, compassionate person to ease our hearts and minds!
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Thank you for this awesome review, Linda! You and the pastor were wonderful to work with as well, and I was more than happy to help where it was needed.
Blessings,
Katherine
Katherine was lovely. She arrived in time and played beautifully. I would most definitely recommend her to my friends.
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Thanks for your wonderful review, Cheryl! And thanks also for the tip and the yummy dinner. Your guests were lovely!
Katherine
Katherine was delightful. Very accommodating and accomplished . Her notes filled my home and her piano playing was defiantly a welcome addition to our reception. Looking forward to using her again in the future.
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Thank you so much, Susan! It was a real pleasure to meet you, and to fill your home with music. I wish you well!
- Katherine
Katherine was professional, kind and did a FANTASTIC job playing the piano for my daughter's wedding! The bride trolley was a bit late in arriving, so I know Katherine played extra pieces as the guests waited...she was just PERFECT to top off a day full of sunshine and love! Thank you Katherine!!
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Awesome review, Suzanne -- thank you so much! Everyone was wonderful to work with, and I wish you and your daughter all the best!
Katherine waw on time, friendly, very competent, a good sport when asked to accompany an off-key singer, and generally, was TERRIFIC.
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Thank you so much, Sandra! It was a wonderful party, and I wish you a great year ahead! And thanks for the tip, too! :-)
Awesome experience. She was on time, played beautifully and very professional. Thanks again!
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Thank you so much, Chelsea! I really enjoyed playing, and the wedding was beautiful! I wish you a lifetime of happiness!
Katherine was wonderful. Communicated very well and put me right at ease. Prompt, professional and engaging. The guests loved her, and the little children even heard some familiar songs to sing along to. I look forward to hiring Katherine again and again..
We had such a wonderful experience - Having a pianist added another level of entertainment to our conference.
Response from Katherine Mayfield, Pianist and Organist:
Awesome, Nancy, thank you! You were wonderful to work with, and I really enjoyed playing for the conference!
Price Range: $125 and up
If you're looking for an elegant, flexible, and upbeat musician, you've come to the right place! I make it a point to listen to the customer's needs, and to do my very best to give you what you want. I'm very easy to work with.
I usually take a short break every hour and a half, if a gig lasts longer than that. Otherwise, I'm happily playing the music I enjoy! I also love playing for holiday sing-alongs.
Katherine has had her fingers on piano keys since she started lessons at four years old. She plays background music during the summer at Clay Hill Farm Restaurant, an elegant five-star restaurant in Cape Neddick, Maine, and enjoys playing for private parties, wedding receptions, and other events. She has played piano for ballet classes for many years, and also accompanies voice and instrumental student recitals.
Katherine is also a church organist, and is available for weddings and funerals. She is classically trained, but also enjoys playing jazz, tango, Broadway, oldies, and ragtime.
