ATMOSPHERIC PIANO for VENUES

Mix Margaret Dylan Jones

The Piano Pages

So you have this great little restaurant / cafe / lunchshop, but it's lacking a little...

...a little, um, a little something.

Ah, it needs ATMOSPHERE

A bit of gentle piano playing in the background is perfect for setting the mood. It makes people feel relaxed and helps them to enjoy themselves.

But you don't want the music to get in the way. This is especially true if you have customers who want to talk, such as friends doing lunch. This means NO SINGING because if you have words flying around the place it's really difficult to hold a conversation. Lyrics distract from the atmosphere, they don't enhance it.

But if you have purely instrumental music, such as solo piano, everyone can talk over it--they can still hear themselves think and can constantly tune in or tune out of the music as they talk. I've even known people to walk out of an expensive restaurant straight after their last bite because the resident guitarist, who was a good singer, suddenly went from instrumental to vocal and they couldn't talk anymore.

I have an extensive repertoire of sheet music (music books) which I play from, spanning many styles. I play some well-known classical numbers (easy-listening Beethoven, Schubert, Bach etc), musical theatre numbers, film music, lots of pop songs, latin american standards, etc.

And I can bring my own portable digital piano if necessary.

So give me a call to discuss your requirements. Phone 0427 853 083 or email mixmargaret over at bigpond.com (replace ' over at ' with @)

I live in a suburb of Perth, Western Australia.
