Why hire a Pianist?

Background Pianists are hired for ambience. Pianists play cocktail parties, country clubs, receptions, hotel lobbies, restaurants, departmet stores and many other places. It creates a wash of pleasing background noise to fill up the gaps in patrons conversations. Silence afterall, is more manageable when it isn't silent. Time goes quicker for patrons waiting for their meal when there is a piano in the background. like all music background piano music stimulates customer's emotions - usually in a pleasing way - and makes them feel good about the room they are in. Thats good for business!

Pianists are hired for status. you dont see pianists playing at McDonald's. You see Pianists at fancy restaurants, private parties and bars playing beautiful music. It gives people the impression of class. In fact people feel classier just being in a room where a pianist is playing. Having a pianist in a restaurant makes people more forgiving of an

over-priced menu. That is also good for business!​
