FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate would depend on several factors such as: how much equipment I need to provide, how far I have to travel, and how many hours of music are requested. My hourly rate drops after the first two hours.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I encourage clients to tell me exactly what they have in mind for their event. I'll make suggestions if they aren't sure what tunes would work best, and will walk them through what hiring a pianist entails. For example, if you're planning an outdoor party, I would require a flat area at least 5' square with access to electricity, not near any water, and sheltered from direct sun and inclement weather.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in music from S.U.N.Y. New Paltz and have continued my musical studies at the Vermont Jazz Center in Brattleboro, VT.
