Shani is a great performer! She accompanies herself on piano and guitar, so it saves $ because you don't have to pay two musicians. Her voice has a great range. She performs a wide array of fun popular cover songs--modern and vintage. She's your go-to gal for an event like an engagement, wedding, or any-kind-of-party! I've also heard her perform her original songs--stellar. I'd love to hire her to write\perform a song for my significant other as a surprise!

Shani is an incredibly talented musician and singer. Her music was the perfect touch for our intimate dinner party. It added a special element to the evening that you can't get from playing sound track in the background. Can't wait to book her again for future events.

Shani Rose was a solo entertainer for my wife's surprise 50th birthday Great easy listening contemporary playlist Great voice and variety. Has all her own equipment. Very personable, punctual and professional young woman. She was even able to stay extra on short notice and for great price. Everyone of the 30 attendees enjoyed her music and singing. She can play her own compositions too! Thank you Shani!! So grateful you were a wonderful part of our celebration.

Shani is very easy to work with. We had multiple contacts before I was able to secure the booking (as I am a middle man), and she was quick to respond when I had more questions or clarifications needed. Also, we had an onsite coordinator change at the last minute. She was fine with that as well. She is very professional and has great music as well. I will definitely contact her again if and when we have another event in the area!

Shani performed at my Garden Fete Afternoon Tea and Fund Raiser - from our initial contact, to her follow-up, discussion of play-list, arrival and set up at the venue and her performance she was wonderful. I wish I had a recording, so that now the hectic day is over I could sit back and enjoy the music the way I know my guests did. She managed to appeal to the entire gamut of 50 guests ranging in age from 30's to 80's and was very obliging when she got requests for repeats. I would most definitely hire her again if the opportunity arises and I would gladly recommend her to friends.

FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?FOR PRIVATE EVENTS (weddings, birthdays, corporate events, etc.): I will usually jump on a short phone call with you to chat about the logistics of the event, and to say hi! We'll go over your event (if it's outdoor/indoor, what I need for my setup, the length of the event, and if there are any song requests). I am happy to answer any questions you might have. To confirm the booking and reserve the date on the calendar, I have clients put down a deposit via paypal/venmo, and we both sign a short performance agreement outlining the details of the event. As the event draws near, I make myself available to walk my clients through anything they might need regarding the performance. FOR TEACHING: I usually ask my clients about their goals for their lessons, and what they would like to learn. I am flexible and open to trying different songs and different approaches with my students, depending on skill, age, instrument, and focus. Music and learning music is supposed to be fun, so I approach my teaching in that way! For children who are just learning how to read music and develop the dexterity in their instrument, we start with learning games, that incorporate theory but in an interactive and fun way. Then we strike a balance between working on those fundamentals and on the songs the child is passionate about learning. The approach is similar for adult students as well!
