This Yamaha made an eleven hour trek into our new home! Can anyone recommend a piano tuner?

We made it to Grand Rapids!

If you're looking for a church organist/keyboardist/pianist, I'll be available starting in late April or May - whenever I get my house set while caring for a toddler and infant! 😅😅😅

After a wonderful run in Sioux City, Iowa, my family is relocating to Grand Rapids, Michigan! I'm ready to dive in, find new churches, and continue providing music for weddings, funerals, and other events as soon as Summer 2024!

Nothing feels more Christmassy than Christmas carols on the organ!

Lots of engagements probably coming in the next week - remember your friendly local piano player when you start those wedding planning binders! 😉

I've never paid for Spotify and have had massive Spotify Wrapped envy so this was very exciting to see today!

It's been a while since a film score grabbed me - but Netflix's Slumberland is IT! The main theme is actually the old Irish standard Through the Parting Glass, which has a melody that lends itself perfectly to solemn, mournful moments as well as cheery playfulness.

I cannot WAIT for sheet music to be available!

Happy 5th Anniversary to my husband Scott Larson KCAU! I can't believe I found someone who was excited as me about having Concerning Hobbits from the Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring as our wedding processional!

I’m forever grateful to my friend Nick for singing at our wedding. I changed my mind a few times about what song he should sing - never fun for a wedding musician! Nick was such a great sport! Fun fact: on the big day, Nick sang I Choose You by Andy Grammer along to a recording of me playing piano!

⁉️⁉️Someone leave you in a lurch? 🙃🙃Plans change at the last minute? 🕟🕟 Give me a shout – I might be able to save the day!

In 2019 someone mistakenly hired a flute player for their wedding instead of a pianist. When they realized it, a friend got in touch! I think I had about a week to learn accompaniment for THREE solos in addition to the couples’ preferred processionals and recessional, but we made it happen!

Is there anything cooler than hearing a Star Wars song on an organ? That might have been my wedding highlight of the summer!

What’s your dream wedding song? I never thought I’d find someone who was as excited about Concerning Hobbits from Lord of the Rings as I was… but I did! Lucky me!

Shout out to Calvary Lutheran’s super kind pastors for occasionally turning on the keyboard and the light and opening the hymnal to the first song for me! It’s such a thoughtful little gesture but it makes me smile.

"Do you know that one song from the movie Up?"

Sure do!

Don't worry if you don't know the exact name of the song you'd like for your walk down the aisle- I can usually track it down! 🕵️
