Jonathan Elsender

Wedding/Cocktail Pianist

Your wedding is possibly the biggest day of your life, so why not add that extra touch of class with a live pianist?

I am a full time professional musician, based in Hampshire, with over 20 years of performing experience, having performed at hundreds of weddings and special events throughout my career.

I have a massive repertoire; from love songs to classical, to jazz, to contemporary; to suit all ages and musical tastes (I can even play a Disney set to keep the little ones entertained!)

If the venue does not have a piano, I can supply my own state of the art digital piano at no extra cost.

My prices start from £250 depending on duration and location.

I am also available for formal dinners, birthdays, restaurants and wine bars.

Listen – Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Listen – Heaven

Piano/Keyboard Lessons

Piano & keyboard lessons in the comfort of your own home in Southampton and the surrounding area.

You’re never too young or too old to start playing music – my pupils range from 5 to 70 years old!

I have over 20 years experience as a teacher and professional musician playing classical, pop, jazz, rock, and just about any other style of music.

Currently, I am resident piano teacher at Portsmouth Music Academy, but have recently moved to the Southampton area, and am looking to take on extra pupils in this area.

I have vast experience of band & session work, so can teach keyboards and piano in a band situation, as well as teach classical piano, so you get a better all round musical perspective than learning just classical music.

My standard fee is £25 for a 45 minute lesson in your own home within a 10 mile radius of Eastliegh, Hampshire.

Fees can be negotiated for anything further afield.

Listen – Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

Listen – Makin’ Whoopee
