Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

That's no problem! I always try my best to be flexible and if times change, just let me know in advance!

How much time do you need to set up?

It will take 30 mins max to warm up at the piano and get a feel of the touch - won't take long!

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

To have a piano at the venue is desirable, and I am more than happy to play on it!

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Of course - they are a compiled list of the pieces I can play but I'm also happy to hear what suggestions outside of the list you have to suit your event.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If there's a piece/song you would like me to play outside of my list, I am happy to learn it beforehand! However, there would be an extra fee for any requests depending on the difficulty.

Ai Lin was the piano accompanist of the Maryfield College Choir for the ‘Sing a Song of Docklands’ concert at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. She did an amazing job and it was a really enjoyable night!

The Emmanuel Concerts were at 3-night concert series held in the Helix DCU, where over 1,000 students from all over Ireland came to sing liturgical songs and produce wonderful music. Ai Lin was selected as pianos for the band from previous auditions and she did us all proud, representing her school and community!
