Hired Baethoven to play for a friend with Dementia as a gift, for someone who has everything. She played (per my request) Frank Sinatra,Elvis Presley, Classical music and some other music she selected, all music my friend actually remembered. We were thrilled to spark that memory through music. I believe Baethoven can play all genre's of music though. Talented. She drove from Los Angeles to Rancho Mirage (2hrs). I wish I had pictures but to protect my friends privacy,we opted for no pictures, Baethoven picked up on that,I didn't even need to ask. I would definitely hire her again. I would also tell others to hire her.

Baethovan played at our holiday party for three hours and all the guests commented on what an awesome violinist she is! The music list was spot on - holiday classics and pop favorites. She was flexible in staying an hour later and adds a wonderful class and festivity to parties. Will use her again!

Baethoven was amazing from the moment I inquired about her services until the moment she played such wonderful music for me and my girlfriends. My girlfriends parents are still talking about the moment weeks later! Baethoven was highly communicative and punctual. The music was even better! I am honestly looking for opportunities to utilize her services again. Well worth it if you’re thinking about entertainment via violin.

OMG SHE IS AMAZING!!! I had a Yule Ball Christmas Party theme for my friends, and she definitely blew all my friends away! She can play any type of music from memory! I made her own little set with an icicle stand and Harry Potter sheet music as well! Her live entertainment for the entire time was perfect! She brings her own wireless speaker and this really cool custom violin! She can even can control the volume just in case you live in an apartment with thin walls like me. It was a blast and such a delight to have her play!

I never expected Melissa to be so professional! I thought I’d have to wait for at least a week to get a response from musicians that I chose. Melissa responded within a day! I was so impressed. She was also right on time. She played the violin for my Mom’s Memorial and was absolutely what I wanted ie classical music and other beautiful scores. Compliments from our guests were very positive. She set up by herself and was completely independent. When done playing, Melissa did not mind telling us about her experiences. She encouraged my grandson who is learning violin and also inspired me to continue a lifelong music dream I’ve had. I would highly recommend Melissa as she made the Memorial so special!
