Hello! My name is Summer and I am an award-winning pianist, composer, orchestral arranger, and string contractor who’s performed for TEDx events, The Ellen Show, and countless tours and live showcases with the likes of Bebe Rexha, Roddy Ricch, Circa Survive, Chon, Anthony Green, Naia Izumi, Chief Keef, Until the Ribbon Breaks, Dayseeker, etc. I additionally play for celebrity and luxury weddings, upscale parties, and corporate events. As a studio and touring musician, I’ve performed at venues including Terminal 5 (NYC), House of Blues San Diego, Pomona Glass House, The Sinclair (Boston), The Shrine (LA), Sayreville Ballroom (NJ), Peppermint Club (LA), Garden Amp (Garden Grove), and more. I have performed for over 1,000 events including weddings, corporate events, fundraisers/charity galas, holiday parties, etc. — either as a solo pianist or in a duo, trio, quartet, or quintet with string players or rock band instrumentation.
I have been blessed with a wonderful ear and so even though I was classically-trained and can read music, I now learn most of my songs by ear, which also plays an instrumental role in my strong, unique improvisation skills when performing, arranging, and composing. This also enables me to give my piano students a great background in ear-training and rhythm which I believe is integral in the making of any good pianist (aside from the obvious performance and theory aspects to playing and composing). I must also credit my wonderful piano teachers who helped shape me musically; I learned from the absolute best and want to pass on the knowledge they have imparted upon me. I integrate music theory, ear training, and rhythm training into all of my piano lessons and received my piano teaching credential from Yamaha Music Schools when I was 12 (youngest person to pass the Level 5 exam).
I also am a music arranger and music contractor as well, and can write my own unique arrangements of songs you’d like to hear performed and can contract other musicians to perform along with me for an additional fee per musician—instead of only solo piano/keyboard (violinists, singers, guitarists, flutists, cellists, violists, bassists, drummers, etc.). We are the best studio and touring musicians in California, so our premium performances come at premium rates (as they say, “You get what you pay for”). You can find many of my arrangements (many solo piano, others with strings) on Spotify and iTunes by just searching “Summer Swee-Singh”.
I should also note here that should your venue not provide a tuned, acoustic piano with 88 working keys and sustain and soft pedals, I can provide a keyboard (and speaker) to perform on for an additional fee; your venue would just have to provide two working three-pronged outlets, a power strip, and extension chords in this case.
I am currently only taking on mask-wearing students or remote (online) students at this time. I am only looking to take on older children (teens) and adults as students who are serious about practicing.See more
