"I strongly encourage everyone to read this review of the most skilled, professional, and truly passionate pianist that my wife and I could have ever had to celebrate our anniversary night. From the very first moment I spoke with Claudia her professionalism shined. Her performance was a surprise that I arranged for my wife. Claudia was extremely personable and stayed in constant contact with me throughout the planning process. Her performance left my wife in tears of happiness at many points throughout the evening. Without a doubt, we will be hiring Claudia again in the future to perform for us. Thank you, Claudia!!!" Justin V. - 08/07/2016 - Wedding Anniversary at LeMont Restaurant - Pittsburgh, PA

"Claudia was wonderful. She played for a group of 80 celebrating my mother's 80th birthday. One of the most important thing a person should know is all the upfront work and preparation Claudia provided us. That would include choosing a list of songs (of which we had 100) and getting them into her program which she provided us and also keeping with the theme. Every time I communicated with her via email she got right back to me. That was great. She answered all my questions and dealt with all my concerns. The music was a wide range and she delivered it with the right emotion and technique. I WOULD DEFINITELY have Claudia back at another affair most certainly." - Bruce K. - 05/21/2016 - 80th Birthday party at the Hickory Heights Golf Club - Bridgeville, PA

Due to the changes of ownership and exclusion of the piano in the building: "I will certainly miss you continue playing, with the passion that you bring in your performances.

"Claudia did a beautiful job performing for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. She is a talented musician and a warm-hearted woman with a great personality. She had to stay on me about finalizing my song choices a bit- which was necessary since I had procrastinated until a couple of weeks before the wedding to make the final determinations. Keep in mind when deciding to hire a live musician that you will need to make many decisions and that there are many more details that need considered than you probably realize.

She takes care of every detail. I can't tell how much I appreciate all her help and how quickly she has responded to me. Claudia, in this very special day for us your help has made it even better.

"Pianist Claudia was hired for this wedding in Ohio, although there are many piano players closer to them in Cleveland, Columbus, Toledo, Akron (OH). Nevertheless, she traveled from Pennsylvania, and this is what the bride and groom wrote to her: Her music was an elegant and beautiful way to celebrate our wedding brunch. I contacted Claudia even though she is located out of state and from the first contact I had with her I knew she was the one and only one for our wedding. Her spirit and passion for the piano transcended across the ballroom. Her timing, grace and experience helped create a multitude of wonderful wedding moments. She is amazing and I strongly recommend her to anyone who wants to make their event unforgettable. Claudia, your music truly touched our hearts...thank you for making the journey to us, you and your talents are beyond words."

"This is our experience about cocktail hour pianists or wedding piano performers in Johnstown, Pennsylvania PA, after the search from what we hired this Passionate Pianist: “Claudia is beyond the imagination of what you would expect from a professional pianist. She made the effort to preview our event facility, to learn about her audience, and to offer suggestions. She provided the perfect musical backdrop to our event. We recommend Claudia to everybody. We will hire her again without question!.” - Martin J.L. - 3/3/2008 - Corporate function - Johnstown, PA - Gig ID#: 369147

"Hiring a professional piano or keyboard performer in Pittsburgh (PA) can be tricky: many students or players with very little experience offer you jazz piano music at a very low rate. We have had bad experiences until we hired the Passionate Pianist for our private celebration in Monroeville (PA). We didn’t chose her based on the price, and: “Claudia's performance touched everyone. She is very talented and elegant. We were blessed to have found her and would not hesitate to call on her again.” - Donna S. - 2/18/2008 - Private celebration - Monroeville, PA - Gig ID#: 363543

I give her the highest recommendation possible. When you have to choose the pianist for your event, do not tray to save a few dollars hiring someone just because of a low rate.

"We were looking for a background pianist for our Anniversary party in Indiana (PA). We have to say: “She is the best! Fantastic, terrific! We hired her in an "emergency". The pianist we hired... canceled 2 days before the party! When we decided to hire the Passionate Pianist we thought her price was too much for our budget, but since we didn't have more choices, we went ahead. WOW... what a surprise! We would pay her twice or more the next time, we will save on other items for a party, but we will have Claudia as the background pianist! You have no idea how important is to have this wonderful pianist that creates a warm and relaxed atmosphere. It is the perfect touch that makes your party just perfect.
