ABOUT ROY
I've been playing piano since I was 10 years old, developing my playing through years of practice and classical study. I completed my Grade 6 piano examination through the Royal Conservatory of Music, while continuing to explore music well beyond the classical repertoire.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to perform in a variety of settings, including weddings, funerals and private gatherings. Each setting has its own atmosphere, and I enjoy finding the right music to complement the moment.
More recently, I've been exploring ways to bring new and old musical styles together, while also developing and performing original music. I enjoy taking familiar ideas and putting my own interpretation on them.
At the heart of Roy Rowland Music is something simple: a passion for bringing people joy through music.
FAQ
Of course. Special song requests are welcome. Popular music can generally be learned and prepared relatively easily, while classical pieces may require more preparation time to perform properly. For important or specific requests, giving me at least a month of notice is recommended. On-the-spot requests are also welcome, although my repertoire is continually growing and I don't know every song. Advance notice gives me time to learn and prepare a request properly and allows me to guarantee it whenever possible.
I can bring a quality keyboard when needed. However, when an appropriate, well-maintained and in-tune piano is available at the venue, I generally prefer to use it. An acoustic piano can provide both a richer sound and a wonderful atmosphere for an event.
I'm based in Southern Ontario, Canada, and I'm happy to consider events outside the local area. For events farther away, the performance fee may increase to account for additional travel time and expenses. This will be discussed when providing your quote.
I'm comfortable performing for extended periods. I've performed for nearly four hours continuously as background music at a wedding. For a typical performance without repeating songs, I can comfortably provide approximately 2 hours of music, with longer performances available depending on the event.
I recommend booking early when possible, particularly for weddings and events on popular dates. However, last-minute requests are always welcome, and I'll do my best to accommodate them if my schedule allows.
