20+ Years Professional Experience

Bachelor of Music Education & Performance


Whatever the occasion, Live Piano Music always adds that special touch and creates an elegant atmosphere and an unforgettable lasting impression for you and your guests.

With a song list that spans over decades of music. From classical music and popular songs of the 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's, to the classic rock 'n roll and pop music of the 70's, 80's, 90's, and the present. This versatility, along with different styles (classical, jazz, ragtime, rock) ...and special requests as well, provides enjoyable live piano music for all ages and musical tastes.

Unless there is a good, well-tuned piano on site - I always bring my own equipment - so don't worry if there is no piano on site.

I have a simple keyboard setup which works perfect for smaller wedding ceremonies and cocktail hour or venues with limited space available for entertainment. I can provide sing-along or background piano music featuring a wide range of styles. I am also able to act as Master of Ceremony for your event or provide special announcements.


I look forward to providing live piano music for your next affair and please feel free to contact me and ask any questions you may have.
