\n\t\t\t\t\t

Can I hear you play live?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
The videos on my ‘Home’ page and ‘Weddings’ page should give you an idea of how I sound. However, you can make an appointment to hear me play live, either in person or over Skype. Just e-mail me your Skype username and I’ll contact you at your convenience. You don’t even need a camera.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

How much do you charge?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
I prepare individual quotes which are fully inclusive and at competitive rates. Please contact me for more information<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Do I need to pay a deposit?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
A deposit of 50% of the total fee is paid at the time of booking. The remaining 50% is due a week before your date. You can pay sooner than that if you wish, of course. Full terms are included in the booking form I send you and a receipt is provided on request.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Do you have public liability insurance?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
I am insured for up to \u00a31 million to perform at any event<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our venue does not have a piano. Can you provide one?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
If your venue does not have a piano, I can bring my own Yamaha stage piano, which is easy to set up, takes up little space and can be moved to any location of the venue you choose.\"yamaha_cp1\"<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Can you easily move from one room to another?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
If you would like me to bring my own keyboard, it is fairly easy to move between rooms and shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes to set up again.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t

What styles can you play and will you learn any specific pieces of music for the event?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t
I can play many different styles including classical, latin, rock, blues, pop and jazz. I am happy to learn any number of songs for your event and I can offer some suggestions if you need some help choosing the music<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\nFAQ -
