 | | Consequently, pianists have a wide variety of repertoire and styles to choose from, including jazz, classical music, and all sorts of popular music. | | | A professional pianist can perform solo pieces, play with an orchestra or smaller ensemble, or accompany one or more singers or solo instrumentalists. | | | Most pianists, to some degree, specialize in performing the music of either certain composers or certain periods. |

| | Piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Sensitive pedaling is one of the techniques a pianist must master, since piano music from Chopin onwards tends to benefit from extensive use of the sustaining pedal, both as a means of achieving a singing tone and as an aid to legato. | | | A large number of composers being proficient pianists, the piano is often used as a tool for composition. | | | The piano is a crucial instrument in Western classical music, jazz, film, television and electronic game music, and most other complex western musical genres. |

| | Chicago Wedding Pianist - Kathie Nicolet |
| | Pianists often cannot gauge how music is being received in that sound is projected from the back and side of the piano, not from the bench. | | | Requests for other types of events are welcome and encouraged, but if the song is a particular favorite, please give the pianist at least 30 days notice should the piece need to be ordered. | | | It is advised that if elderly people are in attendance, you may want to be sure to have them seated away from the piano at one of the tables furthest from the piano. |
