They perform genres ranging from classical, pop, oldies, Broadway, klezmer, amongst others. Event types they have played for include Broadway, wedding ceremonies, holiday parties, corporate events, cocktail hours, and many more. If you'd like a group of musicians, they regularly perform with other world class, Juilliard-trained musicians, who would be more than thrilled to join for your event. Shay and Leerone are both huge advocates for music education, as music can aid in brain development, coordination, confidence, and relaxation. Aside from their careers as performers, the two are passionate music educators, having founded West Amadeus Music Studio. This teaching studio offers virtual or in-person violin, piano, voice, guitar, and low brass lessons to students of all ages and levels with Juilliard-trained teachers.
