Pianists for hire in Scottish Borders
Latest reviews of our Pianists in Scottish Borders
"I hired Laura to play at my wedding. She was very helpful and communicative the whole time. She has an extensive song list and is happy to take requests! For the wedding we requested a few songs that were not on her list and she gave us consistent updates on her progress of learning them. We were uncertain about how some songs would sound on the piano, so she reassured us on how these were going in her practice. The final result ended up being great on the day! Laura’s music really left an impression on me and my wedding guests. I could hear her doing warm-ups and playing for the guests while I was waiting to walk down the aisle and found her playing to be very calming. During the ceremony all of the songs came out perfectly and created a great ambiance! I’m very grateful for all of her hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for an event pianist. "

Do pianists take requests?
Yes, many pianists are happy to take song requests. Encore's pianists often offer a wide repertoire of songs, from popular music to jazz standards, that they can play but they are also usually able to learn new songs relatively quickly. Whether or not a pianist is willing to take a request will depend on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the song and how much time they have to prepare. However, most pianists are happy to accommodate requests when they can, and they will often appreciate the opportunity to play a song that the client will enjoy. Please bear in mind if the song is not part of their repertoire, this may result in an extra fee to cover the time spent practising the song for the performance. enco
My venue doesn't have a piano - what should I do?
Most pianists will have a keyboard and speakers that they can bring to your event - some may even be able to provide a piano shell to mimic the look of a piano (however this will likely cost extra). Nowadays keyboards can sound just as good as the real thing, so don't let not having a piano stop you!
I want my pianist to sing as well. Is this possible?
Yes! Many pianists will sing and play piano - they can also do a mixture of accompanied and unaccompanied music to provide some variation to their performance! They'll most likely mention this information on their profile, as well as have links to videos showcasing their skills.
What kind of music can a pianist play?
Most professional pianists will be extremely competent in a wide range of styles/genres. It's basically up to you what you'd like them to play. Give them an idea of the types of music/songs you'd like to hear, and they'll put together a set of music you'll be sure to love!
