I have performed at weddings which is always nice to be part of someone's special event.
One of my favourite gigs is The Couple's Resort in Whitney Ontario.
My favourite type of event is to be the ambient instrumental (cocktail) piano player, although I really do like playing and singing Billy Joel, Elton John and those types of singing piano players.
I started learning and playing classical piano as a child. In my teens I was the organist at a small church in Shannonville, I was trained to be a piano teacher at Arden's Music in Belleville Ontario, and started playing classic rock piano and organ in bars and restaurants with 4 and 5 piece bands.
I love learning and playing J.S. Bach, Beethoven and Chopin. When I feel like "rockin' out" I love Elton John, Billy Joel and Burton Cummings.
My favourite artist is Elton John, and the greatest song of all time is Glamour Boy by Burton Cummings.
Since I play different types of events, there is no typical set up and performance times. I have played ambient instrumental piano where all I need to do is show up and sit down at the provided piano, but if I have to bring my own gear, set up time could be around an hour to two hours.
I am happy to play as little or as much is asked of me. I have played at wedding ceremonies where my contribution was only 3 pieces during the ceremony, but I'm also capable of playing up to four 45 minute sets with 15 minute breaks in between each.
Yes.
I am happy to take requests.
Professional.
